Court House Raises $4,500 For Charity
In collaboration with thirty local companies who donated raffle prizes, Court House Squash & Wellness and their membership raised $4,500 to help support dementia care services.
A spokesperson said, “Since opening in 2009, Court House Squash & Wellness has held several fitness-focused fundraising events to raise money for local charities. The Court House annual Members Christmas Party has been an additional opportunity to give back to the community, where proceeds from ticket and raffle sales go to charity.
“The Bermuda Red Cross, Bermuda Diabetes Association, Friends of Hospice, Beyond Rugby, Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Bermuda and P.A.L.S. Cancer Care in Bermuda are a few charities that have been recipients of the fitness centre’s charitable initiatives.

“The Court House team have noticed a rise in emphasis on dementia care through the Dementia Care Services Pilot Programme by the Ministry of Social Development and Seniors and engaging awareness campaigns by Dementia Bermuda, inspiring the decision to donate fundraising proceeds to Dementia Bermuda to further support Bermudians living with dementia, and their caregivers.”
Alison Brook, general manager of Court House, stated, “our members party is a wonderful event that gives us the opportunity to raise funds for a cause close to our hearts. This year, it’s about supporting dementia research and care.
“Physical fitness plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for dementia patients, and our members’ generosity and community spirit can make a real difference.
“I am sure many of us have had family and friends affected by dementia, and together, we can help bring hope and support to those in need. Join us in making this holiday season truly meaningful.”
