  • BC Children’s Hospital Foundation Grand Finale Campaign Reception

    It was a who’s who of Vancouver business leaders, movers and shakers last week at a special reception held by the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation to celebrate the grand finale of their long-reaching $200-million campaign for a new hospital. At an elegant stand-up reception, invited guests, major donors and VIPs marked the end of the fundraising road, and the beginning of a new future for BC kids everywhere in need of medial care. The evening included speeches by foundation leaders, special presentations and a live sing-along to “Walking on Sunshine” with a very special group of young patients/performers. Now, it’s time to break ground and start building for the future.

  • BC Children’s Hospital Foundation Crystal Ball

    It’s one of Vancouver’s best black tie affairs, and one of this province’s best causes. The 26th annual Crystal Ball was held this month in support of the Campaign for BC Children and the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation. Over $1.1 million was raised as prominent North Shore supporters made their way to the ballroom to join over 400 invited guests at the Four Seasons Hotel for a night of glitz and glamour. This brings the total to $155 million of the close to $200 million needed to fund a new hospital.
