The Saanich Peninsula Hospital & Healthcare Foundation (SPHHF) celebrated 50 years of the Saanich Peninsula Hospital with its 2024 Spirit Gala last month at Sidney’s Mary Winspear Centre.
The Nov. 9 event raised more than $450,000 for the hospital’s $15-million acute care unit renovation campaign.
The highlight of the night was the auctioning of a pair of tickets to Taylor Swift’s sold-out Eras Tour in Vancouver (Dec. 8), donated by PavCo and the BC Place Community Benefit Program. The tickets, initially sold for $10,000, were resold twice ultimately raising $30,050.
Another standout moment was the announcement of a $100,000 donation from the Dan-On Foundation toward the $15 million acute care unit campaign. The gift is part of a $500,000 pledge to the renovation effort.
