Shannon served as a key member of the 2026 Gala Committee for the Surrey Hospitals Foundation’s 9th annual Celebration of Care Gala. This premier event, themed “Journey,” brought together nearly 500 business leaders, philanthropists, and medical professionals at the Aria Banquet and Conference Centre to support maternal and neonatal care in one of British Columbia’s fastest-growing regions.
As a committee member, Shannon played a vital role in an evening that raised an astounding $1.8 million. These funds are dedicated to the Foundation’s Women, Children, and Youth Pillar of Care, specifically advancing research, innovation, and wraparound services for high-risk pregnancies and neonatal care at Surrey Memorial Hospital and the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre. Her involvement in this high-impact initiative underscores her commitment to community leadership and her dedication to strengthening healthcare services for families across the South Fraser region.
