Time to Shine Gala | VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation

$3M+ raised at 2026 Serein Properties VGH+ Time to Shine Gala!

VGH+ You shone bright!

On Friday, 22 May 2026, we showed what’s possible when a community comes together.

The VGH+ Time to Shine Gala returned to the Fairmont Pacific Rim. And 400 leaders, donors and changemakers rose to the occasion.

Guests stepped into Barcelona. Striking décor. Vibrant entertainment. Plus, an elevated dining experience by 3-star Michelin Chef Paolo Casagrande. But the most powerful moment came when the room rallied around the Fund-A-Need segment which inspired $1M in generosity.

The evening raised $3M+ to help cancer patients across BC become Greater Than Cancer.

This is the power of VGH+ You.

Join the fight to be Greater Than Cancer

Since 2015, VGH+ Time to Shine has raised more than $25.6 million to advance health care innovation across British Columbia.

The $3M+ raised at this years event supported our Greater Than Cancer campaign, a bold $39M+ million effort to propel cancer care and research at Vancouver General Hospital (VGH).

With cancer cases rising, your generosity is helping VGH expand capacity and fuel safer, faster treatments for BC’s most complex cases.

This is the power of plus. This is VGH+ You.
