BCHS Foundation’s Ignite Gala a Huge Success
On Friday September 19th community members, business leaders, and generous sponsors came together for an unforgettable evening inspired by the vibrant spirit of Havana at the Brant Community Healthcare System (BCHS) Foundation’s annual Ignite Gala, proudly presented by ProResp.
This year’s lively theme of Havana Nights brought warmth, colour, rhythm to the event as attendees celebrated a shared commitment to advancing healthcare in Brantford. Over the past two years, the BCHS Foundation has concentrated its fundraising efforts on the Diagnostic Imaging Department, an essential part of delivering accurate and timely patient care.
Fundraising is underway to support a new and improved Breast Health Suite featuring upgraded Digital Mammography machines and dedicated Ultrasound unit. Additionally, funds will help purchase an Ultrasound for the Willett, a new Gamma camera for the Nuclear Medicine and replace the aging MRI machine, which has been in service since 2007.
These critical investment in Diagnostic Imaging total over $6 million. Thanks to the generosity of Gala attendees, the community, and sponsoring businesses, this year’s Gala successfully raised over $480,000 bringing BCHS one step closer to obtaining life saving equipment for Diagnostic Imaging. The evening was energized by the charismatic Layne the Auctionista, who served as the Master of Ceremonies and kept the crowd engaged and inspired throughout the night.
The BCHS Foundation would like to thank sponsors, attendees, and community supporters for investing together to re-imagine healthcare for our community.
