HoneyDo Lifestyle Assistant hosted its first annual High Tea fundraiser in support of Delta Hospital earlier this month.
More than 50 people attended the event on Sunday, July 14, wearing their finest hats and attire to enjoy afternoon tea in the garden of Ladner's Kirkland House.
Owner Rhonda Doram was inspired by her own grandma to create HoneyDo Lifestyle Assistant over five years ago, a Ladner business that prides itself on offering "grandmaapproved" services to assist seniors to age in place.
For HoneyDo's first-ever High Tea fundraiser, Doram and her staff donated all net proceeds to Delta Hospital.
"We wanted to do something that not only provided something fun and social for our clients this summer, but that would also involve and give back to South Delta," said Doram.
"We live in such an amazing community... nearly everything from the venue, the food, catering, staff and prizes were all generously donated by local businesses and volunteers. One of our guests was quoted that she hadn't had such fun or enjoyed an afternoon this much in years, and that makes my day."
Jackey Zellweger, Delta Hospital Foundation's corporate and events manager, also had a blast at the tea.
"I'm just so grateful that our community is 100 per cent behind our hospital and HoneyDo is no exception in their support. They did a fantastic job in organizing the High Tea, and I can't wait to see what next year's event will bring."
