The Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation is excited to announce the 20th Anniversary of the Black & White Gala, on Saturday, October 18th, 2025. For the 20th anniversary, a special Gift of Legacy sponsorship was created.

 

Thank you to Ray and Barb Pilon, local owners and operators of Canadian Tire Pembroke for their continued support of local healthcare, generously donating $20,000 to this year’s event as a Gift of Legacy sponsor!

 

“Barb, myself and our team here at Canadian Tire Pembroke are happy to once again contribute to the PRHF in support of the Pembroke Regional Hospital and local healthcare. As a 100% locally owned Canadian company, we are committed to supporting our local community,” said Mr. Pilon.

 

Black & White Gala event Chair, Dr. Christy Natsis, expressed her sincere appreciation stating, “Without a sense of caring, there is no sense of community. Thank you to Gift of Legacy sponsor, Canadian Tire Pembroke, who chose to support the Pembroke Regional Hospital who care for us, our families and our friends. As Chair of this year’s Black & White Gala, I have been in awe of the support from so many of our local families and businesses who care about having the best possible healthcare right here close to home.”

 

The Black & White Gala is an opportunity for ticket purchasers to enjoy a catered meal from Ullrich’s at the beautiful Normandy Officers’ Mess while supporting their Pembroke Regional Hospital! An online auction and online raffle for an amazing vacation will launch on September 29th and will be opened to the public. Watch the PRH Foundation Facebook page for details in the coming weeks.

 

Proceeds from the Black & White Gala support the highest priority equipment needs at the Pembroke Regional Hospital, improving the lives of local patients and their families.

 

Foundation Executive Director Roger Martin adds, “We are very blessed to have the support of this local business, coupled with their staff at Canadian Tire Pembroke. Thank you all very much!”
