About Heart of Gold
Held once every two years, Heart of Gold is one of Canada’s most celebrated philanthropic events* — a glamorous and inspiring gala with a 25-year legacy of advancing health care at Kelowna General Hospital.
Since 2001, Heart of Gold has brought together donors, sponsors, volunteers, and leaders in our community who believe in what’s possible for health care in the Okanagan.
Together, they have raised more than $7 million in support of KGH and the care patients and families rely on every day.
Known for transforming ordinary spaces into unforgettable experiences, Heart of Gold continues to prove that when generosity, imagination, and purpose come together, anything is possible.
