Centennial Arena was transformed into a glowing ballroom on Saturday, May 2, for ILLUME, this year’s rendition of the Peace Arch Hospital Gala. The luminous event, presented by Neil & Lisa Yarmoshuk, raised crucial funds toward the Foundation’s Every Second Counts campaign, supporting an integrated, state-of-the-art Intensive Care and Telemetry Unit for Peace Arch Hospital✨
Xudong Liu and Donna D**g kicked off the evening’s fundraising with an incredible $200,000 matching gift, and other transformational gifts were generously made by Todd and Debra Antifaev, Yongjun Ba and Dicun Zhao, Vern and Helga Höing, William Sapphire and Dr. Michelle Liu, and a philanthropic group of anonymous donors.
Longtime PAH supporters and ICU Committee Co-Chairs, Mark Woodall & Judy McKague, announced a $1 million gift to the Every Second Counts campaign, a powerful reflection of the community leadership celebrated at the ILLUME Gala. The Surrey Fire Fighters’ Charitable Society & White Rock Fire Fighters Charity Association have teamed up again for philanthropy, announcing their incredible $500,000 commitment to critical and cardiac care for Peace Arch Hospital! This deeply impactful gift is made possible through their annual charitable golf tournament.
We would like to thank our donors, guests, and sponsors for the unwavering support and generosity. All contributions make a significant difference in the lives of countless individuals and families in our community🩷 Stay tuned as we share more photos from ILLUME!
