Celebrating 13 Years of Generosity: A Knight in the Maritimes Supports Healthcare at Arnprior Regional Health
Arnprior, ON – Sept. 29, 2025 – The Arnprior Regional Health Foundation is proud to announce the success of its 13th annual signature fundraising event, A Knight in the Maritimes, presented by Pilon Family Funeral Home. The event was held on Saturday, September 13th, at St. John Chrysostom Parish Hall. The evening brought together community members in support of the Arnprior Regional Health Foundation and the Scope For Hope Endoscopy Campaign.
With the generous support of sponsors, donors, and guests, the event raised over $45,000.00. These funds will help purchase new endoscopy equipment for Arnprior Regional Health (ARH), strengthening ARH’s endoscopy services and advancing earlier detection, quicker diagnoses, and improved outcomes for patients throughout the region.
Guests enjoyed a true taste of the Maritimes with a surf and turf dinner prepared by Krave Bistro and the Knights of Columbus. The evening featured live music by Spencer Scharf, a spirited live auction, and an exciting silent auction full of items generously donated by local businesses and individuals. Auction highlights included an Alabaster Polar Bear Carving, Ottawa Senators tickets, a Calabogie getaway package, and a Blackstone Griddle.
“We are so grateful for the incredible support from our community, sponsors, and volunteers,” said Ben Gardiner, Executive Director, Arnprior Regional Health Foundation. “Together, we are making a lasting difference by ensuring that our hospital – my hospital – has the tools and equipment staff need to deliver high-quality care close to home.”
The Foundation extends special thanks to presenting sponsor Pilon Family Funeral Home, along with all sponsors, donors, and volunteers who made this memorable evening possible.
