MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Host a Fundraising Event
Make a difference in our community and help change lives! Every year, numerous individuals and organizations take a leadership role by organizing their own fundraising events in support of the KGH Foundation and our mission to advance healthcare in the Interior region. Our community-hosted fundraising events and initiatives are run independently by community-minded citizens and are an integral part of the KGH Foundation.

Funds raised from fundraisers can benefit a variety of programs or themes in health care, from our Current Priorities to a specific initiative or department, including Closer to home than you think, JoeAnna’s House and Area of Greatest Need.

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.”
Dr. Michael TsoMD Ph.D., Neurosurgeon
"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.”
Dr. Daryl WileNeurologist at KGH
“Linking the passion and desires of donors to the needs/opportunities of the health system and KGH is such a privilege. I am inspired most by the people; our team, donors, clinicians & caregivers, and administrators and ultimately, the transformative changes to our system of care that become possible when we work together. I am grateful to be able to feel such purpose in my work.”
Allison YoungCEO KGH Foundation
“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.”
