Each and every Amaryllis kit blooming in someone’s home or business holds the promise of a world free from HD. Consider thanking clients with an Amaryllis plant this Christmas. We can customize your gift with a simple elegant label that identifies your name, business and logo. Your clients will think of you and your business for the entire growing season. Great as hostess gifts as well!

One case consists of 12 kits and is reasonable priced at $144 per case. Each kit contains one high-quality Orange Sovereign bulb, growing instructions, soil, pot and saucer, and each is packaged in an attractive gift box.

Place your order starting in April and we will have your order delivered next fall. You choose the delivery week! Bulbs can be planted immediately or stored in a cool, dry place for holiday gifts.

Gorgeous orange-red blooms will appear approximately 6-8 weeks after planting.

Help grow a brighter future! We make it easy!

Tonight, we celebrate the heroic efforts of those living with Huntington disease as well as their caring families and caregivers, many of you are here this evening.

Huntington disease has affected my family and those on our organizing committee in one way or another. The Huntington Society of Canada is an organization that I’ve been involved with for several years now. In many ways, the Huntington Society of Canada and those that I’ve met through this great organization are an extension of my family and I am grateful for those relationships.

Cambridge, ON; the home of Ralph and Ariel Walker and founding place of the Huntington Society of Canada! Get out of the city and do a little antiquing at Southworks Outlets and Antiques in scenic downtown Galt. Then enjoy an afternoon at Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory, Cambridge's spectacular butterfly sanctuary featuring 1000's of free flying butterflies and over 75 species of tropical plants. Stay for dinner at The Keg - just a few minutes down Highway 24.

What’s Next on the Horizon This May, Make an Impact May is Huntington Disease Awareness Month: our chance to put HD on the local, regional and national radar.

More awareness equals more understanding about HD, less stigma for families living with the disease, more resources and more political will to fund critical research!

Help us spread the word. Help us create an even greater impact!

Thank you

This May, speak up! Share what you know about HD. It makes a difference.

Our 2011 Amaryllis Campaign Help us grow a brighter future and fight HD. Our Amaryllis campaign continues to grow and blossom, thanks to the tremendous work of our volunteer network across Canada. Each and every Amaryllis kit blooming in someone’s home or business holds the promise of a world free from HD. Consider thanking clients with an Amaryllis plant this Christmas. We can customize your gift with a simple elegant label that identifies your name, business and logo. Your clients will think of you and your business for the entire growing season. Great as hostess gifts as well!

One case consists of 12 kits and is reasonable priced at $144 per case. Each kit contains one high-quality Orange Sovereign bulb, growing instructions, soil, pot and saucer, and each is packaged in an attractive gift box.

Place your order starting in April and we will have your order delivered next fall. You choose the delivery week! Bulbs can be planted immediately or stored in a cool, dry place for holiday gifts.

Gorgeous orange-red blooms will appear approximately 6-8 weeks after planting.

Help grow a brighter future! We make it easy!
