An Evening with Diana Krall

An Evening with Diana Krall and Friends charity benefit raises funds for VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation, and has supported the Leukemia/Bone Marrow Transplant (L/BMT) Program and blood disease research at VGH. Seven such benefits have been held since 1998, raising a more than $6 million.

The Krall family’s commitment to VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation is a heartfelt expression of their thanks for the care Adella Krall received at VGH.

Adella, wife of Jim Krall and mother of Diana and Michelle enjoyed six additional precious years of life following her 1996 diagnosis of multiple myeloma – an incurable form of cancer that affects the immune system.

Since Adella’s passing in May 2002, the Krall family continues to demonstrate their commitment to the Foundation, helping others living with multiple myeloma to have the best care possible, to celebrate Adella’s vision of helping leukemia and bone marrow transplant patients and their families and ultimately, to contribute to finding a cure.
