Don Sangster (gala committee co-chair), Teresa Cooper (MK Delta Lands Group), Veronica Carroll (Delta Hospital Foundation), Joanne Barnett (MK Delta Lands Group) and Pam Paton (gala committee co-chair) are already preparing for the 17th annual Moonlight Gala this fall.

Delta Hospital Foundation has announced that MK Delta Lands Group will return as presenting sponsor of the Moonlight Gala for the third year running.

The 17th annual event will be held this November and will transform the new clubhouse at Tsawwassen Springs into a Whimsical Wonderland for a night of entertainment in support of Delta Hospital.

"This year we are adding a number of exciting new components to the gala," said foundation executive director Veronica Carroll. "We are honoured to be hosting the first large-scale event at the Tsawwassen Springs clubhouse, which allows us to increase the number of tickets available to our sell-out event."

New co-chairs Don Sangster and Pam Paton are leading the gala organizing committee.

With the support of MK Delta and the community, last year's gala raised a record $300,000 for the diagnostic services expansion project. This year, with only $1 million of the $7.5 million target left to raise, the foundation is hoping to conclude its fundraising for the expansion at the event.

"When we heard that the foundation was looking for a presenting sponsor for this year's Moonlight Gala, we were only too happy to step in and once again show our support for the hospital and our community," said Joanne Barnett, president of MK Delta Lands Group.

"Delta Hospital provides access to vital health care services when we most need it. We see the current expansion project as investing in Delta's future for generations to come."

MK Delta Lands Group has been a long-term supporter of Delta Hospital, donating over $280,000 since 2006.
