The East Kootenay Foundation for Health (EKFH) raised $20,000 at this year’s Trio on the Mountain in support of the Cranbrook Kimberley Hospice Society’s (CKHS) plans to build a hospice house.
The event, was held at the top of Kimberley Alpine Resort on June 26, featured live music from Heather Gemmell, Lennan Delaney, Oliver McQuaid, and Jack Spring.
More than 350 locals and guests enjoyed the sold-out show, which raised around $20,000.
“I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our incredible community for coming together to support such an important cause,” said Brenna Hong, Executive Director, EKFH.
“Your support is helping create a place where individuals and families will receive compassionate care and comfort when they need it most.
“Every dollar raised brings us one step closer to making this much-needed facility a reality. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this journey and for making such a meaningful difference in the lives of others.”
The wonderful evening was possible thanks to presenting sponsor, Kootenay Savings Credit Union, and venue host, Kimberley Alpine Resort.
Hospice home impact
A hospice home in the East Kootenay would make a meaningful difference for people receiving end-of-life care, as well as for their families and friends.
Project progress
The home would offer a place where life’s final chapter can be met with love, dignity and peace. Since Trio on the Mountain, CKHS has continued working to secure land for the hospice home project and expects to share further updates later this year.
