Burnaby Hospital Foundation will be hosting a fundraiser gala to support redevelopment of the hospital on Friday, June 2.

Burnaby Hospital Foundation (BHF) is hosting its inaugural Dragon gala this Friday at the Delta hotels in Burnaby — and everyone’s invited.

Presented by Create Properties in partnership with BHF’s Chinese Ambassador Society, the fundraiser will provide an opportunity for community leaders and hospital supporters to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the society, in support of the redevelopment of the hospital.

The gala will be held at Delta Hotels and Grand Villa Casino (4331 Dominion St, Burnaby) on Friday, June 2 from 6 to 10 p.m., beginning with a cocktail reception, followed by dinner, entertainment and evening program at 7 p.m.

Music performances from Burnaby-based Tony Music School will grace the stage, as well as dance performances from Cherry Tang, Jenny Wang, and Tina Guo.

Mary Lo, a veteran media personality, DJ and TV host, who has previously MCed gala dinners for charity organizations like the Canadian Cancer Society, Mount St. Joseph Hospital and BC Children’s Hospital, will MC the 2023 Dragon gala.

Tickets are $150 per person ($1,500 per table for 10 seats) and are now (as of 1 p.m., June 1) sold out.

Raffle tickets will be available during the event; a $25 ticket purchase will enter you into the draw for all three prizes — the ultimate B.C. getaway, a $1,000 Tian Yi Rejuvenation Package and $570 Stock Your Cellar wine package.

This event is organized to support the redevelopment of the hospital into a state-of-the-art facility that will meet the growing health-care needs of Burnaby and surrounding neighbourhoods. The redevelopment is aimed at expanding services and boosting the number of beds by almost 50 per cent.

Completion of the project will result in the campus having two new patient care towers and a cancer treatment centre.
