Convention Charity of Choice: BC Epilepsy Society
The BC Epilepsy Society (BCES) was selected by BCNU convention host region Shaughnessy Heights as this year’s charity recipient. The union kicked-off the event’s fundraising efforts with a $2,500 donation. Shaughnessy Heights then organized a successful raffle and 50/50 draw for delegates. Members were also invited to contribute to the BCES online between May 27 - June 7 through the BC Nurses’ Union Fund held at the Vancouver Foundation. These combined efforts raised over $16,000.
The BC Epilepsy Society is dedicated to serving British Columbians living with epilepsy, and their families by providing support and resources through education, advocacy and creating a sense of community.
