Visionaries Breakfast

Our Table Captains champion the Visionaries Breakfast within their networks – rallying the community in support of QCH.

As a Table Captain, you commit to bringing six (6) guests to the Visionaries Breakfast on Wednesday, March 27, 2024. At the event, you will host your table of guests which will include yourself as Table Captain, your six (6) confirmed guests and one medical expert from QCH.

There is no cost to attend the Visionaries Breakfast, however, all Table Captains and guests are encouraged to make a meaningful donation in advance of the event or on March 27.

The suggested donation amount is $1,200 – and this donation can be made through a one-time gift or by confirming a monthly pledge. The gift amount is at the discretion of the donor. To make a donation in support of QCH Foundation and the Visionaries Breakfast, please click here.

Thank you for agreeing to serve as a Table Captain for the Visionaries Breakfast on March 27, 2024.

Here are the steps to confirming your involvement:

Step 1: Please contact the QCH Foundation office at 613-721-4731 or via email at ceofoundation@qch.on.ca. Our team will create a custom table captain profile for you and forward you the link to share with your guests.

Step 2: Write a custom email to six (6) people in your network and encourage them to register to join your table at the Visionaries Breakfast on March 27. Be sure to include the link to your Table in the email.

Guests are kindly asked to register on the site before Friday, March 22, 2024.

If a prospective guest is unable to attend, encourage them to make a donation – and reach out to additional contacts to fill all six spots at your table.

Step 3: Consider a corporate sponsorship of the Breakfast or a personal/corporate gift. During the Breakfast we’ll be hosting our annual Equipment Showcase.

While there is no cost to attend the Visionaries Breakfast it is a fundraising event with proceeds benefitting Queensway Carleton Hospital. All prospective guests should be made aware that they will be encouraged to make a gift at the breakfast.

When you are inviting guests, please consider those who have a strong connection to the cause and want to help advocate for local healthcare.

When sending the invitation to your contacts, please be sure to include the link – qchfoundation.ca/breakfast – so your guests can register their attendance.

Subject line: Visionaries Breakfast in support of Queensway Carleton Hospital

Good morning <contact name>,

We know these are incredibly difficult times for the healthcare sector. Each and every day we are learning more about the pressures facing hospitals here in our community, and that’s why I have confirmed my support for Queensway Carleton Hospital.

I am serving as a Table Captain for their upcoming Visionaries Breakfast on March 27. It’s a morning fundraiser benefitting QCH – with funds raised directed towards the most urgent priorities at QCH including the purchase of leading medical devices and equipment.

Along with enjoying a delicious (and healthy) breakfast prepared by the culinary team at the Brookstreet Hotel, guests will learn more about the herculean efforts of the QCH team as they provide exceptional, exemplary, compassionate healthcare to our community.

One of the highlights of the morning will be the Visionary Award tribute in honour of the late Shirley and Irving Greenberg. They were instrumental in advancing care at QCH and ensuring our community had the very best care possible.

I hope you will join me as a guest at my table. There is no cost to attend the event, however, with it being a fundraising event for QCH our aspirational goal is to have each attendee make a meaningful donation to the event. To confirm your seat at my table, please register at qchfoundation.ca/breakfast.

I am happy to answer any questions you may have about the breakfast or QCH. Please don’t hesitate to reach out <insert contact info here>.

I look forward to seeing you on March 27!

Sincerely,

<insert e-signature here>

Once a guest has confirmed they would like to join you at your table, please be sure they register through the event website and include your name as the TABLE CAPTAIN.

This is fantastic news! If you have more than six (6) guests you have the option of starting a new table or we can seats your additional guests at a table close to yours. Please contact the QCH Foundation office to confirm next steps.

On March 27 guests will arrive at the Brookstreet Hotel and be treated to a delicious and healthy breakfast. Our Table Captains are encouraged to arrive at the Brookstreet prior to 7:00 a.m. on March 27, to ensure they can greet their guests upon arrival.

The official program will get underway around 7:30 a.m. and run until 9:00 a.m. During the morning our Table Captains will have time to network with their guests and learn more about the work being done at QCH from a medical expert who will be seated at their table.

Near the end of the program, guests will be encouraged to make a donation in support of QCH. Donations can be made online or by cheque made payable to QCH Foundation.

QR codes will be provided at each table to make the online donation process easy. Those wishing to make a payment by cheque or offline, may do so by filling out and handing in the pledge card and providing a cheque or credit card number.

Thank you for championing healthcare for our community!
