Orangeville, ON – August 19, 2025
Headwaters Health Care Foundation is thrilled to announce that the 20th Annual Jim Cuddy Jamboree raised an incredible $17,587 in support of local health care. This beloved community event brought people together this summer through music, generosity, and a shared commitment to ensuring exceptional health care is available at Headwaters Health Care Centre.
The Jamboree, held at Lyric Pond in Honeywood, brought together music lovers and community members for an unforgettable evening of live performances and philanthropy. We extend our sincere thanks to Jim Cuddy and friends for lending their time and talent to this meaningful cause.
We are especially grateful to Bill Duron, Chair of the Headwaters Health Care Foundation Board, and Heather MacEachern, whose leadership and dedication were instrumental in organizing this successful event.
“It’s inspiring to see how music and community can come together to support something as vital as local health care,” said Bill Duron, Event Organizer and Board Chair. “We’re incredibly thankful to Jim Cuddy and everyone who attended for helping us raise funds that will directly benefit patients at Headwaters.”
“We are honoured to be the beneficiary of this year’s Jim Cuddy Jamboree,” said K.C. Carruthers, CEO of Headwaters Health Care Foundation. “This generous contribution will help us invest in the equipment and resources needed to continue delivering exceptional care close to home.”
Proceeds from the event will support the Foundation’s efforts to fund critical equipment purchases at Headwaters Health Care Centre, ensuring patients in Dufferin-Caledon have access to high-quality care, close to home.
