Huge thanks to the Kennedy Seniors Recreation Centre for donating hygiene items for our CARE kits!

Thanks to Enver Creek who sold cupcakes for Youth for CARE! They raised over $200 donated to the NICU!

Youth for CARE members got together in the holidays to make ‘CARE’ Kits- kits filled with art and craft supplies to go to children in Palliative Care and Laurel Place. They also made 100 cards which were distributed in the hospital. Finally, members brought in books, food and games for various areas in the hospital.

The Red FM Radiothon raised over $820, 000 to the Kidney Unit at Surrey Memorial Hospital. There were over 4, 500 donors who contributed. Youth for CARE members helped prepare the thank you letters and tax receipts to these donors.

Ms. Yolanda Bouwman and Ms. Adele Etcher took Youth for CARE members on a tour of the Critical Care Tower, where they were able to see the NICU, lab areas, and the Neurology Department.

Youth for CARE members put together ‘CARE Kits’. Kits filled with hygiene supplies went to the families in NICU, and kits with art and craft supplies went to children in Palliative Care and Laurel Place.

Youth for CARE members volunteered at the 8th annual Ashok Memorial Tournament and Fair running games and activities for many of the kids! The tournament raised over $20, 000 which supported pediatric oncology at Surrey Memorial Hospital.
