BCHS Foundation’s Ignite Gala A Record-Breaking Success

On Friday September 20th community, business leaders, and sponsors gathered to ignite the spirit of giving at Brant Community Healthcare System Foundation’s Ignite Gala presented by ProResp.
Over the past few years the BCHS Foundation had focused its fundraising efforts on the Emergency Department (ED) Renovation Improvement Project and patient equipment for the ED. The BCHS Foundation is thrilled to share that, thanks to the generous support of our community, we have not only met but exceeded our $8 million ED fundraising goal!
This year the BCHS Foundation’s fundraising efforts transitioned to a new focus, the Diagnostic Imaging (DI) Department. We have begun raising funds to support the development of a new and improved Breast Health Suite, with upgraded digital mammography machines and a dedicated ultrasound. We are also fundraising to purchase an ultrasound for the Willett, a new gamma camera for the Nuclear Medicine Department, and the time has come to replace our aging MRI machine that was installed in 2007.
The total cost of these DI investments exceeds 6 million dollars. With Layne the Auctionista as our inspiring MC for the evening, this year’s Ignite Gala presented by ProResp was the most successful to date and resulted in a RECORD-BREAKING evening. Thanks to the kindness and continued generosity of Gala attendees and major donors, the BCHS Foundation is proud to announce that we raised over $600,000!

The BCHS Foundation thanks our sponsors, attendees, and community supporters for investing together to re-imagine healthcare for our community!
