Richmond hospital Foundation wishes to thank the Nite of Hope Richmond Committee for its dedication and legacy of hope to inspire countless others to
help end breast cancer.
Now in its 17th and final year, the Nite of Hope Richmond gala event, founded by Judi Miller Knapp in 1994, will help fund new equipment at the Richmond Hospital Breast health Centre.
Everyone in Richmond can be proud that Richmond Hospital is a part of one of the best screening mammography programs in the province with a dedicated and highly skilled team providing a high standard of care, right here close to home.
Last year, the Nite of Hope Richmond gala event helped purchase a new, state-of-the-art breast ultrasound machine. Ultrasound plays an important role in identifying suspicious masses and tissue diagnoses. The new breast ultrasound machine offers better image quality and the ability to directly compare different tests such as mammography and ultrasound, resulting in a more accurate and earlier detection of breast cancer.
This year proceeds from the 2015 Nite of Hope gala will help to fund a new, second digital mammography unit to meet current and future demand due to Richmond’s growing and aging population.
Since 1994, the Nite of Hope Richmond has raised more than $2.4 million in support of the Canadian
Breast Cancer Foundation – BC/yukon region and their vision of creating a future without breast cancer.
On behalf of all the women here in our community and the friends and family members who love them—we
thank you for your commitment and leadership to help save lives.
Nite of Hope Richmond Gala takes place on Thursday, April 16 at the River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond. This year’s event will feature CTV News anchor Mi-Jung Lee speaking about her own battle with breast cancer.
Musical guest will be recording star Melanie Dekker. Returning as MC is CBC’s Fred Lee.
