Media Release Dated July 12, 2023, New Long-Term Care Facility in Athens Named “G. Tackaberry and Family Home”

The Tackaberry Summersgiving Tour and Fundraising event to raise funds for the new 192-bed long-term care home was held on June 24, 2023. The highlight of the day was a presentation of a generous $400,000 donation by the Tackaberry Family, which led to the naming of the new, state-of-the-art facility. This contribution was in addition to a previous $100,000 donation by George Tackaberry in memory of his mother Phyllis, for naming rights to a “neighbourhood” (wing) in the new long-term care home. This successful event hosted by the Tackaberry family also raised over $30,000 from ticket sales.
