Red Gala Sponsorship Opportunity
Shuswap Cardiac Society Red Gala – March 1, 2025
Join us for a Heartfelt Evening of Celebration and Support
The Shuswap Cardiac Society is proud to present the first ever annual Red Gala on March 1, 2025, at Chances in Salmon Arm. This special fundraising event is designed to raise awareness about heart health and generate support for the critical programs that improve the lives of those affected by heart disease in our community.
Our evening of elegance will bring together community members, local leaders, healthcare professionals, and supporters to celebrate our shared commitment to heart health. It is also a powerful opportunity to fundraise for the T.O.R.C.H. Cardiac Rehab Program, which offers invaluable support and rehabilitation to individuals recovering from heart-related issues.
Why We’re Doing This
heart disease affects millions of Canadians every year, and the Shuswap region is no exception. The Shuswap Cardiac Society works tirelessly to provide essential services, education, and resources to improve heart health in our community. Funds raised from the Red Gala will directly benefit programs like T.O.R.C.H., which helps patients regain their strength, confidence, and quality of life after a cardiac event. These rehabilitation programs are vital in reducing the risk of future heart problems and improving overall well-being.
