NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY – The Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH) Foundation is pleased to announce more than $54,500 was raised through this year’s Wine & Ale in the Park, making the 2026 event the most successful year to date.

“This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing people and businesses who continue to champion NHH,” shares Courtney Ker, NHH Foundation Manager, Community Giving. “We extend our gratitude to all of our sponsors, attendees, and supporters who came together to raise funds and kick off the summer season with us. Every ticket purchased, glass raised, and generous contribution will have a meaningful impact on strengthening healthcare close to home.”

Proudly presented for the eleventh year by local realtor, Tony Pulla Re/Max Rouge River Realty Ltd, Wine & Ale took place on the evening of June 25 in Victoria Park, Cobourg and featured pairing stations offering local cuisines and a variety of wines and ales from Northumberland area vendors.

Joining Pulla as a returning sponsor, Sydney Fairman of the Sydney Fairman Group once again showed her support of our hospital as the exclusive beverage sponsor for the evening.
