BRING ON THE SPRING EVENT 2020 postponed
March 16, 2020
With COVID-19 having been declared a ‘global pandemic’ by the World Health Organization, and considering that Canadian public health authorities have recommended suspending mass gatherings to help check the spread of the virus, in the interest of the health and safety of our supporters, volunteers, other participants and the public at-large, we have postponed Bring On The Spring Event 2020 to Saturday, August 29th.
We look forward to COVID-19 dissipating as the summer approaches and to having Bring On The Spring Event 2020 on August 29th in support of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital [QEH].
Bring On The Spring Event was established as an annual fundraiser to finance the donation of medical equipment and supplies to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) and other public health facilities in Barbados.
This year’s event is being organized to raise the funds needed to purchase 20 Enteral Feeding Pumps costing CAD$22,000 [BBD$32,250] for donation to the QEH. These Feeding Pumps will make a difference in the quality of the Hospital’s patient care and in the lives of many who use its services.
SAVE THE DATE OF AUGUST 29th and attend Bring On The Spring Event 2020. Watch this page for the date from which tickets will be available. If unable to attend the event, please DONATE and support the cause.
