Lifting our Emergency Department To new heights

On a stunning summer evening, guests gathered in support of VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation and the VGH Emergency Department (ED) on Thursday for the second annual LiftED, presented by RBC. In its second year, the event raised the bar once again, raising an outstanding $493,000 – a truly inspiring show of the power of community spirit. 

Funds raised will lift the dedicated and hard-working professionals of our ED and give them resources to help improve patient care. Every dollar raised is a step toward ensuring that everyone living in British Columbia continues to receive world-class health care.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported this event. Your contributions are making a real and lasting difference for people across the province.  
If you are still interested in donating to support the VGH ED, it’s not too late.
