Legacy giving is a wonderful way to ensure you have a lasting impact on your community, well beyond your lifetime. By leaving a gift to the Queens General Hospital Foundation in your will, you can help support your local community hospital and provide quality healthcare to your friends, neighbours and loved ones, for years to come. You may wish to designate a specific sum of money, an asset such as an investment, a portion of your estate, or the proceeds of a life insurance policy.

A gift of securities, such as stocks or mutual funds, entitles you to a donation receipt for the full market value of your contribution, while eliminating any capital gains tax on your donated investments.

This long standing community event brings together dozens of volunteers, supported by community organizations and businesses, to raise money for much needed equipment for the hospital. Hustle activities include tables of books, plants, vegetables, baked goods, and unique treasures. An auction and Docs’ Dogs are annual favorites.
The Auxiliary also operates the Gift Shop, Monday – Friday: 9:30am – 4pm and Saturday: 1pm – 4pm, on the main level of Queens General Hospital.
Plan a Fundraiser
The Foundation welcomes individuals, community organizations and businesses, schools, and service clubs, to support health care in our community by hosting a fundraiser and donating the money raised to the Foundation. This can be an annual special event, such as a dinner, a weekly activity like Casual Fridays, or something in between.
