The local chapter of the Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem (SOSJ) has commitment to raise and donate $50,000 to JoeAnna’s House.

SOSJ Okanagan has promised to raise and donate $50,000, which will all go to building the home away from home for families needing to travel to the Okanagan for medical care.

“JoeAnna’s House is absolutely the kind of project our organization desires to support,” said Joy Zsombor, Commander of the Okanagan Commandery. 

“Helping our neighbours fills us with great joy to be able to support such a needed project,” he added.  

This past spring, the Okanagan membership presented the KGH Foundation with their first instalment of $10,000 for JoeAnna’s House. 

“We are deeply grateful for the generosity of these wonderful men and women,” said Sasha Carter, Director of Legacy Giving for the KGH Foundation. 

“Their dedication to carrying on the tradition of the Sovereign Order by supporting local families in need is really inspiring.”

The community is invited to attend the SOSJ’s next fundraising event, “Art & Wine: Because you Care” at Sandhill Winery in Kelowna on Friday, November 2 at 7:00 p.m. 

Every dollar of the proceeds generated will be matched by the SOSJ Okanagan, to a maximum amount of $25,000, and will go to help build JoeAnna’s House.
