Welcome

Niagara Health Foundation invites you to join our annual Celebration of Lights to celebrate recovery, support healing and honour someone special. When you make a donation to the Celebration of Lights, every dollar raised stays right here in Niagara and goes towards urgently needed equipment at our local hospitals.

When you make a gift of $50 or more, you can add the name of a loved one to a paper light bulb or our virtual tree to cheer them on in their recovery or to celebrate their memory.

    A hospital is about so much more than just physical buildings where care is provided. It’s about people inside those walls who work hard every day to care for their community. It’s about patients who come for that care in times of need. It’s about compassionate care that happens every minute of every day inside those buildings, and equipment required to deliver that care.

    If you had asked Doug about his health a year ago, he would have told you that he’s the healthiest guy on the planet. “But when I was dying in the driveway on that day in May 2022, it hit me that maybe I wasn’t as healthy as I thought.”
