With a little more than a week until Christmas, there's still time to donate to the 31st annual Light A Bulb Campaign.

"We are getting closer and are so thrilled with the generosity of our community,” says Lisa Westermark executive director. "Seeing people come together and hearing why they are donating to Light A Bulb is what inspires us to do our work.”

The Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation expects to reach our $275,000 goal.

According to Westermark, one in 10 people living in the North Okanagan have received surgery at Vernon Jubilee Hospital in the past year.
 
The campaign will provide VJH surgeons with the equipment needed to perform more surgeries, ultimately reducing wait times and improving patient outcomes so our loved ones can get on the road to recovery much sooner.
 
"We are almost there," says Westermark. "Help the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation meet our goal with your donations. Your gift stays local and gets put to work right here in the North Okanagan." 
 
Each $35 tax-deductible gift will light one bulb on the tree of lights; $500 will light an entire string. Every gift, great or small, brings us closer to raising $275,000 for critical equipment at VJH.
