Campaigns
Norfolk General Hospital Foundation’s Campaigns support our most crucial equipment needs.
Get ready for Iris’s 1950s Sock Hop in support of Norfolk General Hospital
Iris’s Sock Hop is coming to The Greens at Renton on Friday, October 30, from 7 to 11 p.m. Proceeds from the event will support the purchase of a new centrifuge for the Norfolk General Hospital laboratory.
Guests can enjoy 1950s inspired food and drinks, including root beer floats, along with music from Black Creek Music DJ Service.
Dressing up is encouraged, but not required. Pull out your best 1950s look for a chance to win prizes for Best Dressed Greaser and Best Poodle Skirt. Classic cars and other themed props will also be available for photos throughout the evening.
The Sock Hop continues a tradition of community fundraisers organized by Iris. Previous events have included Iris’s Mad Hatter Tea at Nonni’s in Port Dover, Iris’s Luau at the Links at Dover Coast and Iris’s Speakeasy at Ferrera in Simcoe.

Meet Bailey
Bailey is a dedicated volunteer with the NGH NHNH Volunteer Association and a Wildland Firefighter in Alberta. On November 2, she will run the New York City Marathon with a goal of raising $3,000 to help purchase a new patient lift for Norfolk General Hospital.
Let’s cheer Bailey on and support her effort to bring this vital piece of equipment to our patients.
