Hoops for Heart: August 2026

Once again, Bernie’s Boat donated to Hoops for Heart, sponsored by the Olivia Rourke Foundation. This year, we offered a Silent Auction item to the event.

In August, the Silent Auction winners joined us for a morning of fun with Bernie’s Boat. The 2 winners, along with breast cancer survivor and Olivia’s mom, Jenn Rourke, experienced how much fun we have in our boat! After a dryland lesson, they spent the morning paddling, then received Bernie’s Boat hoodies and a photo from our Team photographer, Jane Ann Smith.

Proceeds from the Silent Auction were donated to the Oncology Unit at Brightshores Health, Owen Sound.
