How much has been raised and from what sources?
Since becoming a Registered Charity, the Society has raised approximately $4 million through the generosity of many. Led by substantial advocacy and monetary donations from Leslie and David Bissett, and a generous donation of 8.4 acres of land near Okotoks, Alberta by Dr. Jim Hansen and his family, FCHS has been supported by many individuals, corporations, charitable organizations, Province of Alberta, granting agencies, service clubs, and Town and Municipal District Councils. The Board and volunteers have contributed over 20,000 hours of voluntary service to raise funds, develop community awareness, and build our Hospice home. Working with thousands of supportive partners in the community, we are thrilled to have been able to open the doors of the Hospice January 28, 2008.
