Thank you to our incredible community for the outstanding support shown at the 2025 Spirit Gala. This year’s sold out event was an unforgettable celebration that brought together guests, sponsors, volunteers, and partners who share a commitment to exceptional care at Saanich Peninsula Hospital.
The Mary Winspear Centre was transformed into a striking Crimson Cabaret by Decorate Victoria, creating a rich and immersive atmosphere for the evening. Guests enjoyed a memorable dinner prepared by Truffles Catering and were welcomed by the beautiful opening performance of singer Edie DaPonte. The program was guided with energy and humour by Paul Haysom of CHEK News and Auctioneer Brian Rimmer, who kept the room engaged and spirited throughout the night.

This year brought extraordinary news for the Foundation and our community. A very generous donor matched the total raised during the event, increasing our fundraising total from $548,879 to an incredible $1,097,758. This achievement reflects the commitment and generosity of everyone who took part, and it will have a meaningful impact on healthcare for patients and families across the Saanich Peninsula.
Entertainment and interactive elements added to the excitement, including live music by The Haven, a lively photo booth experience from Four Frames Photo Booth, and photography by Jesse Hlady Studios, who beautifully captured the evening. The enthusiasm of guests carried through both the Live and Silent Auctions, contributing significantly to the final total.
We are deeply grateful to all who supported the event, whether through attending, bidding, volunteering, sponsoring, or donating. Your involvement made the 2025 Spirit Gala one to remember.
