Parked on the front lawn of the hospital, the blue Camaro was the featured “guest” at the Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) Foundation Community BBQ on Sept. 23, 2023. It was the first day of Autumn, a beautiful sunny day! Attendees were welcome to sit in the car, take selfies and buy a ticket to win the car and support the campaign to bring a CT Scanner to KDH.

Free hotdogs and cake were provided from the Foundation to thank the community for its support of KDH. Many children enjoyed the face painting and fun swag bags. Annie’s Lemonade generously donated its proceeds to the fundraising event and O’Dell Associates Inc. gave out free frozen treats. Live and recorded music by J.A.M. Productions was greatly appreciated by all the guests. J.A.M. announced it will soon release a CD featuring local musicians, with proceeds to the KDH CT Scanner.

The CT Scanner is a vital diagnostic tool which will bring better patient care, faster care and closer to home care. We need to raise $2.2M. Your local hospital needs YOU to help bring the CT Scanner to Kemptville.

The draw for the Grand Prize is October 26. Buy your ticket today!

Come join us on the front lawn of the Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) for a Community BBQ hosted by the Hospital Foundation on September 23, 2023, from 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm.

Enjoy free hotdogs, ice cream, cake and musical entertainment. There will be face painting for the kids and a free bandana for your dog!

At the BBQ, see the fabulous blue Camaro, the Grand Prize for the CT Scanner Lottery. While dreaming about winning the car, enjoy taking selfies with the Camaro and buy your lottery ticket to win it. The more tickets you buy, the better your chances! Give a little - help a lot. The Grand Prize will be drawn October 26.

Your purchase of a lottery ticket will help bring the CT Scanner to Kemptville. This vital piece of diagnostic equipment will be a game changer for our community. It will improve the patient experience, reduce patient waiting and travel time to Ottawa hospitals and help us recruit new physicians at KDH. It is no longer enough for our ER to have just X-ray and Ultrasound capabilities. We need a CT Scanner at KDH to deliver the best patient care close to home and we must raise $2M to make this a reality. Your hospital needs your help.

Mark your calendar to attend the KDH Foundation’s Community BBQ on September 23. Enjoy a fun afternoon for all ages! Buy your CT Scanner Lottery Ticket at the BBQ and help us purchase this critical piece of equipment for our hospital.

In the event of rain, the BBQ will be postponed to September 24.
