$204,000

This year, the generosity of Moose Jaw once again shone brightly at the 34th Festival of Trees. With the theme "Disco in Denim" the Temple Garden Centre was transformed with country grit and disco glam. Dr. Nicolette (Coco) Sinclair and Dr. Greg Kraushaar did a wonderful job as the evening's Emcees.

The night's highlight was the live auction, showcasing uniquely decorated trees, dazzling displays, and one-of-a-kind items. Proceeds from this year's Festival are dedicated to upgrading the MRI to provide faster scans and better care. The upgrade will increase scans by 25% to 10,000.

Festival of Trees is woven into the fabric of our community. It has endured over the years and grown in impact and prominence. Moose Jaw and neighbouring communities recognize the deeper purpose of Festival; behind the pyro and disco balls, Festival stands as a testament to the power of philanthropy in health care.

Led by Festival Volunteer Chair, Kim Waldo, our dedicated volunteer team crafted an energized, fun, festive, and truly impactful night. Everyone at the hospital appreciates their work to make life better for patients.

The auction was full of exciting moments and generous bids including the tremendous generosity of JGL sponsoring the lobby tree and then Golden West Trailers helped create an unforgettable Festival moment with a matching sponsorship of $30,000. 

After the auction, Festival guests danced the night away to Drew Gregory, took selfies with the 360 camera and stuffy riders. Festival of Trees with a rich history and deep roots in Moose Jaw. Its strength is drawn from the community's unwavering support and the dedication of our volunteers.

Thank you to every volunteer, sponsor, and auction item donor for helping to make a difference in lives of patients at our hospital.  With your support patients will now get faster scans and better care.
