Golden Tides & Island Vibes
We are thrilled to share that this year’s Handbags for Hospice was another incredible success in support of Hospice Waterloo Region.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make the evening so special — from our generous sponsors, donors, volunteers, and auction contributors to every guest who attended, bid, and celebrated with us. Your support and compassion continue to make a meaningful impact for the individuals and families we serve.
Our 2026 Golden Tides & Island Vibes event brought the warmth and energy of the Caribbean to life with vibrant décor, island-inspired cuisine, exciting auctions, and an unforgettable atmosphere of community and generosity. From browsing more than 150 beautiful handbags to cheering on the high-energy live auction and Fund a Need with Layne, The Auctionista, the evening was truly one to remember.
Congratulations to our Ticket to Paradise winner of a trip for two to Club Med Punta Cana, generously sponsored by Expedia Cruises – Fairway Rd., Kitchener and Club Med! We hope your upcoming getaway is filled with sunshine, relaxation, and unforgettable memories.
Thank you for helping us ride the golden tides of generosity and compassion once again. We are already looking forward to seeing you next year!
