Commemorative donations
In Honour
Recognize a special occasion of a family member, friend or a loved one, such as a wedding, birthday, anniversary or a promotion, or simply honour that person with a donation to a cause that is meaningful to them.
You can also make a donation to show your gratitude towards a therapist of the Constance-Lethbridge Rehabilitation Centre, whose service and care you particularly appreciated.
Please ensure that you include the name and address of the person being honoured so they can be informed with a card that a donation was made in their name.
In Memoriam
A donation can be made to offer your condolences to a grieving family. Simply provide us with the name of the person that you wish to honour, and the name and contact information of the person or family to be informed of your donation.
Upon receiving a commemorative donation, the Foundation forwards a letter to the person or family being honored without mentioning the amount of the donation. You will receive a receipt for income tax purposes.
Fundraising activities
On October 18, 2012, the Constance-Lethbridge Foundation held its first ever benefit event, 75 Years of Possibilities, in honour of the Constance-Lethbridge Rehabilitation Centre’s 75th anniversary. Guests enjoyed a menu of hors d’oeuvres based on local products and wine from Domaine Les Brome, while listening to a jazz trio that gave the event a festive air. Guided tours of the Constance-Lethbridge Rehabilitation Centre were offered, where guests learned first-hand from the Centre’s staff of its programs, services and equipment. The event also included a visit of the newly renovated therapeutic garden, which includes adapted gardening areas and zones for practising adapted sports.
