A high-profile gala in Chilliwack brought in more than $100,000 on the weekend.
On Sept. 23, the 18th annual Chilliwack Hospice Society Gala: Disco, the society’s largest fundraiser of the year, raised a total of $103,000.
That night, Chilliwack Hospice Society supporters put on their dancing shoes and bell-bottoms for a night of fundraising under the gleaming light of a disco ball at The’í:tselíya - S.A.Y. Health & Community Centre.
The evening featured a gourmet dinner by Restaurant62, silent and live auctions, and dancing to many disco-era hit songs from disc jockey Adam Kruger.
Money raised will help fund the grief and palliative care support the society provides the community free-of-charge.
“Event organizers would like to thank all those who attended or supported the annual gala through sponsorship, donations, and ticket sales for contributing to its success,” reads a press release.
