The Nite of Hope is a Gala evening held every year in White Rock / South Surrey.

All proceeds raised from this event go directly to benefit the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, B.C. Yukon Chapter. The purpose of this event is not only to raise money for CBCF but to also raise awareness of the devastating effects of breast cancer and to provide support and encouragement to survivors. We hope that Breast Cancer will, one day soon, be a disease of the past!

The first Nite of Hope Gala was started in Richmond in 1998 and now is being held in three communities, with the North Shore having their inaugural event this year.

2009 will mark the fourth annual Gala Nite of Hope in White Rock / South Surrey. To date, Nite of Hope – White Rock has raised over $250 000 for CBCF. Nite of Hope – White Rock / South Surrey is run entirely by a team of volunteers.

In 2009, Community Awareness has been our focus and we are so proud that our community has come together to host several events throughout the year to increase the public’s awareness.

Breast cancer is often thought of as a concern for older women. However, young women can also get breast cancer. Breast awareness is important at any age. If breast cancer is found at an early stage there is usually a better chance of successful treatment.
