A Tribute Takes Flight: Butterfly Releases Raise Nearly $5,000

White Rock, B.C. – Five local senior living homes spread their wings for a good cause this summer, raising nearly $5,000 to support Peace Arch Hospital’s Every Second Counts Campaign.

Through a series of butterfly releases held in late August and early September, participants came together to enjoy a special moment while supporting their community hospital. As butterflies took flight, each gathering offered a beautiful reminder of what we can accomplish together.

On August 27, Suncrest Retirement Community, Aspira Peninsula Retirement Living, Aspira Pacifica Retirement Living and Sunnyside Manor Seniors Community hosted their releases, followed by Amica White Rock on September 4. Together, the five events raised nearly $5,000!

All proceeds support PAHCHF’s Every Second Counts Campaign to transform Peace Arch Hospital’s entire fourth floor into a state-of-the-art, integrated Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Cardiac Monitoring Unit. The new space will provide advanced technology for medical teams, alongside private, comfortable patient rooms with space for loved ones, helping improve the care experience during some of life’s most vulnerable moments.

It is so heartwarming to see our community come together in support of this important transformation. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all five senior living homes, their teams and everyone who participated in these memorable events. Thank you for helping ensure exceptional, life-saving care is there when our community needs it most.
