Chilliwack Hospice Society disco party raises over $100,000

CHILLIWACK — Supporters of the Chilliwack Hospice Society cut a mean rug to support a great cause over the weekend.

On Saturday evening, September 23, Chilliwack Hospice Society supporters put on their dancing shoes and bell-bottoms for a night of fundraising under the gleaming light of a disco ball at The’í:tselíya – S.A.Y. Health & Community Centre. The evening featured a gourmet dinner by Restaurant62, silent and live auctions, and dancing to many disco-era hit songs from disc jockey Adam Kruger.

According to a news release from Desmond Devnich, marketing manager for Chilliwack Hospice Society, $103,000 was raised to help fund the grief and palliative care support the non-profit society provides the community free of charge.

Event organizers would like to thank all those who attended or supported the annual gala through sponsorship, donations, and ticket sales for contributing to its success.
