Golf for Life Raises over $94,000!

By Thank You!

The 26th annual Golf for Life tournament raised over $94,000 due to the generous support of our sponsors, donors, golfers and volunteers! Presented by Coastal Community private Wealth Group and hosted by Fairwinds Golf Club, this year’s tournament saw a return to beautiful weather for the 136 golfers who participated.

The greens were in fantastic condition and everyone had fun trying to get the best score and attempt a hole in one for great prizes including cash, a new car, a trip and golf for a year!

Last year’s team remained undefeated this year – perhaps in 2020 will see new tournament champions?!

All the funds raised are supporting our campaign to build a new surgical suite for the Endoscopy Department at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. For details on this vital project, click here.

Below are a few photos from the day. Click here to see all the tournament photos. Visit our event webpage to see all our fantastic sponsors.

Birthday Party Results in Toys for Hospital!

By Thank You!

A big thank you to Savannah who, for her 5th birthday party, asked her friends to donate toys for the paediatric department at NRGH instead of presents! What a fun and caring way to celebrate a birthday and help comfort other children who are in hospital for medical care.

And Savannah knows first hand what a comfort they can be as she herself received one when she was in hospital. When her birthday was coming up, she wanted to do something special to help other children. In addition to this great selection of toys, $40 was also donated thanks to Savannah’s thoughtfulness!

Improving Patient Comfort

By News

Quality of life is an important part of patient care. The Hospital Foundation is committed to helping make residents as comfortable as possible. The smallest things can make a difference in patient quality of life like this aquarium at Trillium Lodge in Parksville. The little schools of fish bring a smile to the lodge residents as well as staff and visitors.
