2025 Event

On Wednesday, October 22nd we held our 2025 fundraising evening. At the event seven charities presented their proposals for funding by the 100 Men Who Care South Dundas. After the presentations, those in attendance voted for the charities that they felt most deserving of funds. Although more money may come in we were able to raise $9,500. This meant that two charities would receive the funds. The top two charities that received the most votes were:-

Dundas County Hospice who received $5,000 for their proposal for their  Hospice Day Program which is described by participants as the highlight of their week—a place where they feel safe, cared for, and connected. For some, it is the only hot, home-cooked meal they will share with others. For others, it is laughter around the table, a break from thoughts of illness, or simply the comfort of being with people who understand. For caregivers, it is a precious break and the reassurance that their loved one is not only cared for, but truly enjoying themselves. We are seeking the support of 100 Men of South Dundas to keep this vital program strong. With your gift of $5,000, we can run a full year of programming. The total annual cost is $14,000, which covers nutritious meals, supplies, and transportation for those in need. Each year, we plan to offer approximately 50 program days, resulting in more than 250 attendances and 1500 hours of respite for local caregivers. 

Winchester District Memorial Hospital receives $4,500 for their proposal for a new cardiac monitor that will allow the Emergency Department to keep a closer eye on more patients, ensuring that anyone in urgent need can be monitored without delay. This extra equipment also supports staff by giving them confidence that every patient can receive the observation and care they require, even on the busiest days. The cost of a new monitor is about $10,000. We are asking the 100 Men Who Care About South Dundas to consider a gift of $5,000 through the WDMH Foundation’s General Equipment Fund. With your support, we will be one step closer to making this purchase a reality.
