Throughout the year, North Okanagan Hospice Society benefits from events held by various individuals, businesses and organizations within the community. We refer to these as third party events. Craft fairs, community concerts, golf tournaments, raffles, art shows, pancake breakfasts and many other creative efforts generate awareness and funds for Hospice programs and services.

If you, your business or community group is interested in conducting an event to benefit Hospice, please contact us. We will be more than happy to assist you with ideas, providing volunteers to assist at the event and to lend a hand with promotion of the event.

Here are some examples of Third Party Events:

Cheek to Cheek Dance Studio’s Dancing with Vernon Stars

Lorna Robb, along with Cheek to Cheek dance instructors and volunteers create a gala evening of music and dance to support Hospice programs.

Home Building Centre Charity Golf Tournament

The owners, management and staff of Home Building Centre Vernon all participated in the golf tournament and helped to raise funds.

Definitely Country Quilters Raffle and the Airing of the Quilts

Each year, the quilters support North Okanagan Hospice Society in so many ways, in addition to the fundraising they also donate quilts to use in our resident rooms and for decorating purposes.
