The Ste-Anne Hospital Fund held its 12th annual all-you-can-eat Lobsterfest on Saturday October 28th at the Niverville Heritage Centre and raised a record breaking $58,000 in gross revenue.

The evening was described as festive, with guests delighting in fresh New-Brunswick lobster. Entertainment included the music of a live two-piece blues band, silent auction and Wine Pull fundraising activities. In total, 800 pounds of lobster was served during the evening as part of the four-course meal.

The event was also an opportunity to thank the Ste-Anne Hospital Fund’s generous donors. “We are happy to take the opportunity to honour some very generous and hard working community organizations,” said Ste-Anne Hospital Fund Executive Director, Zoé Nakata. “The organizations held fundraisers for the Ste-Anne Hospital this past year.”

“I’m very proud of the sold out Lobsterfest held at the beautiful Niverville Heritage Centre,” said Ste-Anne Hospital Fund Board President, Raymond LaFlèche. “The Hôpital Ste-Anne Hospital community came out in full force to support the continued success of its facility. A very positive atmosphere!”

Funds raised at this year’s Lobsterfest will go towards the purchase of specialized equipment for the hospital’s new operating ward.
