Centennial Arena was transformed into a glowing ballroom on Saturday, May 2, for ILLUME, this year’s rendition of the Peace Arch Hospital Gala. The luminous event raised crucial funds toward the Foundation’s Every Second Counts campaign, supporting an integrated, state-of-the-art Intensive Care and Cardiac Monitoring Unit for Peace Arch Hospital.

Xudong Liu and Donna Dong kicked off the evening’s fundraising with an incredible $200,000 matching gift, and Chris and Anita Helser for their generous $100,000 gift. Other transformational gifts were generously made by Todd and Debra Antifaev, Yongjun Ba and Dicun Zhao, Vern and Helga Höing, William Sapphire and Dr. Michelle Liu, and a philanthropic group of anonymous donors.

Longtime PAH supporters and ICU Committee Co-Chairs, Mark Woodall & Judy McKague, announced a $1 million gift to the Every Second Counts campaign, a powerful reflection of the community leadership celebrated at the ILLUME Gala. The Surrey Fire Fighters’ Charitable Society & White Rock Fire Fighters Charity Association have teamed up again for philanthropy, announcing their $500,000 commitment to critical and cardiac care for Peace Arch Hospital. This deeply impactful gift is made possible through their annual charitable golf tournament. 

The evening proved to be an exceptional night of philanthropy for our Every Second Counts campaign, and we are so grateful to each person for their support.
