Grace Hospital Family Fun Day 2026

JOIN US ON FRIDAY, MAY 8TH!

Starting at 9am, listen to our radiothon on CJOB680 where you can catch up on what’s happening at Grace Hospital, hear patient stories and learn how your support will contribute to vital equipment and programs.

Our volunteer street teams will be out at Portage and Sturgeon collecting donations, and free ice cream sandwiches will be handed out at the hospital during the day.

At 4pm, the free family celebrations begin! Find us at Sturgeon Creek Parkway (just in front of Grace Hospital) and help us celebrate!
