One of the hardest things we face in life is expressing our feelings for another. Making a donation in the name of a family member, friend or colleague is a meaningful way to let other know you care. The VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation offers you a way to do this through our Tributes Program. Not only do you honour someone in a special way, you also help make our community a better place by supporting health services for all British Columbians.

There are two kinds of Tributes you can make. The first is “In Memory” of a family member, friend or colleague who has passed away. It’s a way for you to remember someone special and to tell others how much this person meant to you.

The other type of Tribute is made “In Honour” of a person or an organization as a way of saying thanks. For example, many people have given gifts, “In Honour” of our doctors and nurses who have treated them or a loved one. “In Honour” gifts may also be made in celebration of a birth, birthday, anniversary, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, or wedding.

If you’d like to thanks, remember or pay respect to a special someone, please consider making a Tribute gift to VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation. Your gift can be used to fund the latest, most sophisticated medical equipment, pioneering research and world-class patient care for the people of British Columbia.
