Thank you to our donors

We are grateful for your past donations to our major campaigns. With your help, we ensure every corner of Royal Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals advance. Thanks to you, our patients can continue to receive excellent healthcare on Vancouver Island.

Thank you to our volunteers

We are a volunteer-driven organization at heart. Over 140 volunteers give their time and talent to help with our fundraising events. We appreciate the countless hours of time dedicated to our successes.

Thank you to our spokespeople

As we reflect back on our past campaigns, we would like to sincerely thank the Island Health caregivers who have shared their expertise and the patients who have told their stories. Through your day-to-day experience in our hospitals and your advocacy for healthcare, you helped transform an otherwise abstract appeal into a very grounded and human story — and this is the moment when giving happens, that instant the heart and mind are mutually engaged. Thank you for so generously lending your name and voice toward continuing and improving this legacy of care.

Looking back, we are profoundly grateful: for our community, our donors, our healthcare teams, our volunteers, and the opportunity for our Foundation to impact so many lives with our work. Because of you, the Victoria Hospitals Foundation has raised more than $150 million to benefit our hospitals since 1989.
