LANGLEY — In late March, the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation (FVHCF) hosted Spring Fling, its first South Asian fundraiser alongside a newly-formed sub-set committee called ‘Ray of Hope.’

The event was held at the Langley Banquet hall on March 23 and raised a total of $25,000 for essential medical equipment. The committee is determined to promote ‘seva’, a pillar in Sikhism and Hinduism encouraging solidarity without expecting something in return.

Executive director of the FVHCF Elizabeth Harris, stated the foundation was profoundly thankful to those who donated.

“We are incredibly grateful to the local South Asian community for the generosity shown in supporting our hospital’s need for vital equipment,” said Harris.

Ray of Hope is currently seeking members of the South Asian community who are interested in volunteering with local hospitals. Those interested can contact the following email address: info@fvhcf.ca.
