Homebase | KGH Foundation

Thank you for your support of Homebase!

A TRUE HOME RUN FOR HEALTH CARE

Thank You!

After five remarkable seasons, during which over $746,000 was raised in support of critical areas of local health care such as JoeAnna’s House and Mental Health Care initiatives, we are announcing the official ‘retirement’ of Gorges x Comeau Homebase Celebrity Softball Game and Slo-Pitch Tournament.

The KGH Foundation extends heart-felt gratitude to Josh and Blake, whose contributions have been pivotal in ensuring Homebase has been a winning endeavor from the very start.

The impact of Homebase and the generous support of teammates like you have laid a strong foundation for what comes next. We are excited about the opportunities ahead to continue making a difference in the lives of those we serve. In the words of the great hockey legend, Wayne Gretzky, we “Skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.”

We are so proud of what this team has accomplished. Together, we have achieved so much, and it is with your continued support that we will keep striving to bring excellence in health care closer to home. Thank you for being part of the game.

TESTIMONIALS

Making a Difference

“The Kelowna General Hospital Foundation is essential for helping clinicians to deliver the best care for patients. Strong collaborations between clinicians, hospital administrators, patients, and community leaders are important to ensure that people who need the most complex medical care can stay local in Kelowna.”

"Supporting people and innovation leads to results. We have seen major advances in the scope and quality of neurological care at our site by attracting and supporting people who build & innovate. Support from the community allows us to go beyond what we need today and drive care further.”

"At my core is a deep-seated belief in the power of people driven by purpose, and the strength we have as a collective. It is this belief that fuels my desire to catalyze transformative change—not just for my organization, but for the entire community. Each day, I have the privilege of supporting extraordinary individuals who dream big, ignite hope, and courageously drive forward change, together."

“In Canada, I think we take our health care for granted. We don’t have a clue what anything costs. But every appointment and procedure has a price tag. We have always contributed to the hospital in a small way. However, after my emergency heart surgery and hospital stay, it seemed even more important. We want to contribute to the ongoing excellence of treatment and care at KGH.”
