St. Martin’s Anglican Church Gives $10,000 to Bowmanville Hospital Foundation
BOWMANVILLE, - Monday, April 8, 2019 – On Sunday, April 7, 2019, Major the Reverend Canon David Saunders, along with the congregation of St. Martin’s Anglican Church in Courtice, presented Andrea Russell, Chief Development Officer, Bowmanville Hospital Foundation, with a cheque for $10,000. The funds will be directed to the redevelopment and expansion project for Bowmanville Hospital.
“Many of our members have received care at Bowmanville Hospital and value the friendly, patient-focused approach taken by staff,” said Canon Saunders. “We recognize the need for a facility as important as our community hospital and the challenge it faces to continue to provide the vital services, comfort and patient centred care our residents have come to know, while serving Clarington’s growing population. We feel it is extremely important to donate our funds to support the Bowmanville Hospital Foundation and the much needed redevelopment project, which will benefit so many in the local community and those well beyond its borders.”
Located in the chapel of White Cliffe Terrace Retirement Residence, St. Martin’s Anglican Church is a mixed denominational congregation made up of White Cliffe residents and others living throughout Clarington. For nearly 30 years, St. Martin’s has been supporting many community programs, including Gate 3:16 Outreach Centre, Oshawa Refuge, food banks and recently, a $10,000 donation to Durham Hospice, Clarington site. This is the first gift from St. Martin’s Anglican Church to be received by the Bowmanville Hospital Foundation.
“The generosity demonstrated by St. Martin’s Anglican Church is an example of the incredibly benevolent and caring community the Bowmanville Hospital Foundation is fortunate to belong to,” says Ms. Russell. “This gift marks an incredible accomplishment for the Church and their small congregation. We are extremely thankful for their investment in our Hospital, in the lives of people and the community.”

Hennessey Family Gives Back to Bowmanville Hospital
BOWMANVILLE, Monday, February 25, 2019 – The Hennessey family had a lot to celebrate this Family Day. While watching the Peterborough Petes play the Niagara Ice Dogs, Steve Hennessey announced a $100,000 gift to the Bowmanville Hospital Foundation. This gift will go to support the redevelopment and expansion of Bowmanville Hospital and is made in honour of Kathleen Hennessey who was fondly remembered. “This year marks the 10th anniversary of my grandmother’s passing, and, as a family, we thought this was the perfect way to honour her memory while supporting a very important initiative,” said Mr. Hennessey, Realtor and Board Member, Bowmanville Hospital Foundation. “Clarington has been great to our family over the years and we hope that by supporting the redevelopment and expansion of Bowmanville Hospital, it will continue to do the same for families in and around Clarington.” As descendants of Irish immigrants, Kathleen and Herbert Hennessey raised nine children in Peterborough. In 1964, Kathleen became the family’s sole caretaker when her husband suffered a stroke. The majority of the Hennessey family still resides in and close to Peterborough. Several of Kathleen’s descendants reside throughout the Greater Toronto Area, including Clarington and some have moved as far as Western Canada, primarily in the province of Alberta. “We are grateful to the Hennessey family and for this generous gift,” said Frank Cerisano, Chief Executive Officer, Bowmanville Hospital Foundation. “Steve has been a valuable member of our Foundation’s Board of Directors for several years and we thank him and his family for demonstrating such a deep commitment to the health of our community and for reinforcing the true spirit of philanthropy.”
The Hennessey family made a donation in honour of Kathleen Hennessey (1923-2009), as a way to give back to the Bowmanville/Clarington community that several of her family members have lived and worked in over the years. - 30 - For more information: Andrea Russell Bowmanville Hospital Foundation (905) 623-3331 ext. 1884 About Bowmanville Hospital Bowmanville Hospital is a fully accredited hospital, servicing the Municipality of Clarington.

Anglican Men’s Club Completes $50,000 Pledge to Bowmanville Hospital Foundation
BOWMANVILLE, - Thursday, November 22, 2018 – Today, Ray Atkinson, President, and members of the St. George’s Anglican Men’s Club, visited the Bowmanville Hospital Foundation and presented a cheque for $3,000 to Kirk Kemp and Fiona Hodkinson, Board of Directors, Bowmanville Hospital Foundation. The funds were raised through the Club’s “Loonie+ Tent,” a refreshment stand hosted by St. George’s Anglican Men’s Club during the 2018 “Concerts in the Park” season held at Rotary Park in Bowmanville.
“Our contribution to the Bowmanville Hospital Foundation is something we are very proud of,” said Mr. Atkinson. “Years ago, the Anglican Men’s Club was drawn to the need to support the people of our community by ensuring necessary hospital equipment is available when they need it. There are a lot of people that stand with us as a community as we make this donation to our Hospital, and we are so happy with what we’ve been able to do for Bowmanville Hospital.”
This is the final installment of the Club’s $50,000 pledge to the Bowmanville Hospital Foundation, one that has previously supported the “Back the Cat” Campaign and will now be directed to the Foundation’s “Buy A Bed” Fundraiser for the replacement of much-needed stretchers and mattresses for the Hospital.
Established in the mid-1990s, St. George’s Anglican Men’s Club began with a mission of “fellowship, fundraising and community.” With approximately 20 members, the Club initially raised funds for St. John’s Anglican Church in Bowmanville through the sales of pancakes, sausages and apple dumplings at Bowmanville’s AppleFest and MapleFest events. In 2005, the Club began running the refreshment stand during the 12-week “Concert in the Park” series, with proceeds going to support the Bowmanville Hospital Foundation. Following the 2018 season, St. George’s Anglican Men’s Club made the decision to dissolve, due to a decline in membership.
“We are grateful to the members of the Anglican Men’s Club for their unwavering commitment to the Foundation after all these years”, says Mr. Kemp, Vice-Chair, Bowmanville Hospital Foundation. “As an integral part of “Concerts in the Park” evenings, the Club has demonstrated a tremendous example of the power of giving within a community. The Bowmanville Hospital Foundation is incredibly thankful for the members of the Anglican Men’s Club and their lasting impact on the future of Bowmanville Hospital.”
