The Event

Visions is Victoria's premiere gala event, held annually by the Victoria Hospitals Foundation in support of the Royal Jubilee Hospital and Victoria General Hospital. Since its inception, Visions has raised close to $3 million for priority medical equipment at our hospitals.

This year the Foundation hopes to raise more than $375,000 in support of the Intensive Care Unit. This will enable us to buy six ventilators — life-saving equipment that helps critically ill and severely injured patients breathe — for Victoria and Royal Jubilee Hospitals.

Join us on Saturday, November 14 at the Fairmont Empress Hotel for the 19th annual Visions event. This black-tie evening includes

• an elegant cocktail reception
• a gourmet four-course dinner
• live entertainment & dancing
• a bear raffle
• live and silent auctions

Every year, Visions is driven by an incredible team of volunteers and sponsors who provide their time, energy, and expertise to make this extraordinary event happen.

We invite you to join us for a fantastic evening!

It is our pleasure to offer this year's guests a special rate for overnight accommodation at the Fairmont Empress Hotel throughout the weekend. If you are a Visions guest, you can stay at one of our city's finest hotels for only $99/night on November 13, 14, and 15, 2009.
