Carmens Group

We are proud to share this important community story.

2026 marks the 132nd running of the Around the Bay Road Race and the 22nd year St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation has served as the official charity partner of this iconic Hamilton event. Over that time, nearly $6 million has been raised to support patient care, research, mental health initiatives, robotic surgery, and essential medical equipment at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton.

This year, funds raised through the Bay Race will support the purchase of much-needed medical equipment. While hospitals receive operational funding from the province, investments in new technology and the replacement of aging equipment rely almost entirely on donations and community-supported events like the Bay Race.

We are especially proud to share that PJ Mercanti, CEO of Carmens Group, has been named the 2026 Community Champion for St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton

A lifelong Hamiltonian, PJ was born at St. Joseph’s and has recently joined the Foundation’s Board of Directors. He is currently training to run the full 30K Around the Bay route and is aiming to raise $100,000 in support of Hamilton’s hospital.

Watch PJ’s interview with CHCH News this week to hear more about why this cause matters to him and what motivates him to take on this role: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RxoczX60qI

PJ will be supported by family, friends, and the Carmens Group team, alongside hundreds of hospital staff and corporate teams from across our city.

The Bay Race truly is Hamilton’s Race for Hamilton’s Hospital, and we are honoured to support its continued legacy.
