Chilliwack Hospice Society - Child & Youth Program

On Saturday, September 23, 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 Restaurant 62, silent and live auctions, and dancing to many disco-era hit songs from disc jockey Adam Kruger.

During the event, Chilliwack Hospice Society premiered a promotional video for its child and youth program, produced by Matthew Hawkins of Hawkins Media and Around Chilliwack. In this new video, Child and Youth Program Manager Franceska Hills offers a glimpse into the important work she does to support their youngest clients. Listen as some of the kiddos and their grownups share their personal experiences with Chilliwack Hospice Society.

In total, $103,000 was raised to 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.
