Our 36th Annual Gala, proudly presented by the Jourdain Family, was a bright evening of fundraising with proceeds used to purchase essential life-saving equipment, in addition to funding other high priority needs for Ridge Meadows Hospital and health care in our community.

Medical Imaging is seeking to acquire a state-of-the-art Logic E10 Ultrasound unit, designed for general imaging and interventional procedures like guided biopsies and drainages. This advanced equipment offers high-definition imaging, improved ergonomics, and a wide-screen high-resolution display, which can enhance diagnostic quality and efficiency. Currently, the procedure room conducts around 10 scans daily, with many being complex, and upgrading to the Logic E10 could streamline workflow, increase daily scans, and minimize repeat exams. The total cost is $145,600, with $100,000 from a bequest to the Foundation, and an appeal for additional donations of $45,600 is being made to fund this essential equipment, crucial for improving community health outcomes.

To donate towards this, select ‘From the Heart 2024’ as the Fund when making a donation.

Last year, we marked a significant milestone with our 35th annual Gala, and this year, we were thrilled to continue the legacy of giving back to our community.


We would like to thank everyone that came together to make this a great event from our sponsors and volunteers to our wonderful attendees and supporters.

 

Since our inaugural event in 1989, our Gala has raised over 4 million dollars for the hospital, making a real difference in the lives of patients and staff. This year, we anticipate another successful evening with ~275 guests dressed in their finest attire, coming together to raise funds for essential equipment and high priority needs at Ridge Meadows Hospital.

Thank you to our 2024 sponsors. If you would like to be a sponsor for next year’s Gala, contact Deanna Lackey (deanna.lackey@fraserhealth.ca) about Sponsorship opportunities.

Our 35th Annual Gala, Emerald Garden, presented by the Jourdain Family, was a shining success. Over 250 attendees participated whole-heartedly in a night of fundraising, food, and dancing, all in support of life-saving equipment and other high priority health care needs at Ridge Meadows Health and in the community.
