Saturday night’s QEH Foundation Yuletide Gala held at the Prince Edward Hotel raised over $363-thousand for hospital equipment. Over 250 attended the event that included a silent auction.
Michelle Hughes, who has been living with a rare form of cancer, took the stage to thank all of the donors and asked everyone present to stand and be celebrated for their involvement.
Cavendish Farms, the title sponsor, also announced it will continue its sponsorship for the next two years.
John Gaudet, the QEH Foundation Board Chair, says events like this are not just fundraisers but also reminders of power of the community and the care Islanders feel for each other.
