The Charles H. Best Diabetes Centre annual “WALK for the BEST” walkathon is a vital fundraiser that brings our patient and family community together in support of our healthcare programs. Being the Best Centre’s 35th year, we are excited to celebrate with you and gather at Heydenshore Kiwanis Park in Whitby (589 Water Street, Whitby) on Sunday, September 22nd, 2024.  The Best Centre invites you, your friends, your family and neighbours to help us fundraise and enjoy a 2.5-5 km walk or run in support of meeting our pledged goals.

Celebrate our 3rd Annual Fall Market in the Barn with us! Support local with over 50 unique handcrafted vendors, indulge in delicious food from our Food Truck Paddock, meet and feed Highland cows and goats and more! With winding trails, a picturesque property, and a beautiful cozy bonfire, it makes the perfect Fall day on the farm. Enjoy live music from Julia Middleton from 12-3, or add to the experience by booking a Micro Mini Photo Session with Inspired by Griffin Photography. We hope you can join us!
