Heart & Stroke Gala is possible because of you

The 2022 Heart & Stroke Gala shone a spotlight on Stroke: the need for research, importance of the FAST signs of stroke, and the need for rehabilitation and recovery services; proceeds from the gala will support stroke research and recovery programs in B.C.

Thank You

Thank you to all Heart & Stroke Gala volunteers. You make everything we do possible - your time and contributions are deeply appreciated. When we beat as one, we accomplish extraordinary things!

The FAST signs of stroke campaign can save lives. We are asking for your help to spread the campaign through your company/organization or personal connections for this in-kind support.

Here are some examples of how you can support but please get creative, the sky’s the limit!
  • Introduce us to your HR team to discuss sharing FAST in your company’s internal newsletters or intranet site
  • If your company has a fleet of vehicles, could you consider adding FAST decals to your branded fleet?
  • Do you have a media contact who might consider providing pro bono advertising?

Together, we will beat as one!
