Plan an Event

Fundraising is a fun and rewarding way to connect with others for a meaningful cause.

 

 

By supporting VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation through your fundraising efforts, you are transforming health care for all British Columbians.

Now more than ever we need to come up with creative ideas for fundraisers as most communities are limited in their ability to gather due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Get creative with fundraising! Your fundraiser doesn’t just have to be an event, instead you can create a unique page and drive your friends/co-workers/sports teammates to it for donations with an email blast. Want to make donating exciting? Check out our suggestions below for fun ways to fundraise.

We have created two funds supporting COVID-19 response and research efforts. You can create your own fundraising team/pages to support these funds by hosting a virtual event or starting a campaign! Get started today!

COVID-19 Response Fund

Create your fundraising page

Personalize your fundraising page with a photo and story about your cause. Share your fundraising page with friends, family and colleagues and invite them to make a donation.
