Picture
Swifties, this one’s for you! The Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation (FVHCF) is turning up the excitement at this year’s Annual Gala with a jaw-dropping live auction item: a pair of exclusive tickets to see Taylor Swift in her sold-out show at BC Place in Vancouver on December 7, 2024 and $1,000 towards $1,000 towards a night of a Lifetime courtesy of Conair Group, Abbotsford.

Mark your calendars for November 15, 2024, because this isn't your average charity event! Hosted at the stunning Clarion Hotel Abbotsford, the evening promises a blend of glamour, great food, and, most importantly, philanthropy with a pop star twist.

FVHCF’s Board Chair, Cristen Gleeson, is just as excited as we are: “We’re beyond grateful to PavCo and the BC Place Community Benefit Program for their generous donation of these tickets. Taylor Swift is bringing the ‘Eras’ tour to Vancouver, and this auction is set to boost support for health care services in the Fraser Valley.”

All funds raised during this unforgettable night go straight to enhancing local health care programs, ensuring the best patient care for our community. So, get your bidding paddle ready—this is your chance to support a fantastic causewhile scoring tickets to the hottest concert in town!
​
Don't miss out! Gala tickets are on sale now at www.fvhcf.ca/gala. Snap them up before they're gone and get ready for an epic evening that’s sure to leave you singing all the way home!
