Maple Leaf Marinas to host 7th annual fundraiser to support of Muskoka hospital foundations

Maple Leaf Marinas is hosting its 7th annual ‘Fuel Your Hospital’ fundraiser for the Civic Holiday long weekend.

According to officials, 20 cents from every litre of fuel pumped at 21 Maple Leaf Marinas locations from July 31 through Aug. 3 will support fundraising efforts for six local hospital foundations.

“We’re incredibly proud of how Fuel Your Hospital has grown over the past seven years,” said Derek Lubert, President of Maple Leaf Marinas. “Last year’s response from our boating community and partners was extraordinary, and we’re excited to build on that momentum as we work toward surpassing $200,000 in total donations. That milestone reflects the generosity of our customers, partners and marina teams, and the positive impact we can make when we come together in support of local healthcare.”

Officials said proceeds from the fundraiser will support the Georgian Bay General Hospital Foundation, Huntsville Hospital Foundation, West Parry Sound Health Centre Foundation, South Muskoka Hospital Foundation, RVH Foundation, and Brightshores Health System Owen Sound Foundation.

Officials said after seeing the success of last year, they have set the goal for this year to $45,000.

Since 2020, the ‘Fuel Your Hospital’ fundraiser has generated more than $156,000.
