Twenty-Third Starlight Gala Results

We couldn't be more pleased to announce that our Twenty-Third Starlight Gala -  Coast to Coast: A Canadian Evening - raised $285,000, enabling us to purchase a new Bone Mineral Density scanner for our hospital!  Our generous community has once again exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't be more grateful for all the support.  Thank you!!

The profit from each Gala is directed to the highest priority needs of the hospital.  Our Gala fundraising efforts will be focused on ensuring that our medical professionals receive vitally needed equipment.  Without the fundraising efforts of the Foundation and the support of our communities, we would be unable to ensure that our hospital has the best equipment possible to care for our patients.  Our Foundation is committed to supporting our hospital in its quest for excellence in rural health care and providing "Quality Care Close To Home".

Watch this space for news about our 24th Annual Gala happening on May 29th, 2027 at the PMD Arena in Drayton.
