The Dawson Creek & District Hospital has provided loving care for families of the North Eastern region of BC for generations. Many people give back and support the Foundation because they have experienced this care and they recognize that the hospital is vital source of help for all people of the region.

Part of Northern Health, the Dawson Creek & District Hospital provides specialized services like Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging, Orthopedics, Emergency, Surgery, Critical Care, Ambulatory, Rehabilitation, Diabetes, Psychiatry, Chemotherapy, Maternity and Palliative Care.

Contributing to Lights for Life helps to ensure that the Dawson Creek & District Hospital will continue to be a place of innovation – a hospital that has highly specialized equipment and facilities to attract and retain specialists and healthcare professionals that you may one day need for help.

We have also added Rotary Manor and any future care facilities to our fundraising initiatives. Our goal for 2018 Lights for life is to raise $32,000, in order to purchase a Veinviewer and Vitals Monitor. Keep an eye out for our Spirit Elf on our social medias to find out where we are at.

Please show your support and help to light up someone’s life!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED THIS YEAR, WE WERE ABLE TO RAISE JUST UNDER $25,000!

CHANCES CHARITY DINNER & SILENT AUCTION

The Dawson Creek & District Hospital Foundation is incredibly blessed to have Chances Gaming Centre here in Dawson Creek be one of our regular sponsors.

Each year on the first Thursday in November, the staff and management of Chances help to bring us a charity dinner and silent auction to raise money to benefit the Foundation. The 2018 Benefit Dinner and Silent Auction was held on November 1, 2018 and raised just under $6,000. This event, the 12th annual, included Foundation board members, Northern Health representatives and Foundation donors. In addition to the dinner and silent auction, the event had a 50/50 draw and guest speakers including: Mayor Dale Bumstead and Jennifer Dunn, the Director of Care for Northern Health in Dawson Creek.

The annual Charity Dinner & Silent Auction is great opportunity for a fun night, and the auction itself hosts a variety of items for everybody to enjoy bidding on.

Please check back in September 2019 for information about our 13th Annual Benefit Dinner! We welcome you to join us for a night of fun, delicious food and engaging entertainment.

The Foundation gives a big thank you to Chances Dawson Creek for serving a delicious buffet meal and decorating the venue space.

The Dawson Creek & District Hospital Foundation partners with Bell Media each year to bring you the “Have A Heart” Radiothon, an event that has been running since 2004. BellMedia is a primary driving force during this event, contributing 12 hours of “on the air” radio time to make this Radiothon a success.

The 16th annual Have a Heart Radiothon is set to take place on Thursday, February 14th, 2019 at Canada Safeway in Dawson Creek. Radio 890 CJDC, the Peace Country’s Country, will be broadcasting live from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., highlighting donations over the course of the day.

Throughout the day, various things go on to involve to community and bring in revenue for vital equipment needed for the Dawson Creek & District Hospital. A Silent Auction goes on throughout the day – so be sure to check back and make sure you aren’t outbid! And remember, change can change a life – it might be only a few dollars to you, but if each member of the community made a point of sparing a dime here and there, the total would add up! This day is filled with a fun atmosphere to encourage the community to give back – whether their donation is large or small. Come by to see what we will be offering, grab some food, and join us in the fun!

In the past, funds raised by this event have gone on to help raise money towards essential children’s medical equipment. This year we are raising money to purchase a Uroflow system for our Specialist Clinic in order to assist with patient comfort and care during these appointments.
