Charity Classic Breaks Another Record

Golf Tournament Raises Essential Funds for Healthcare in the North Okanagan

Date : Sunday, August 24, 2025
Location: Predator Ridge Resort

VJH Foundation Charity Classic is the North Okanagan’s premier golf tournament, focused on transforming healthcare in our community.

This year’s tournament broke another record by raising over $500,000 for urgently needed medical equipment for Vernon Jubilee Hospital.

Equipment like Belmont Rapid Infusers – vital, life-saving devices that are used to quickly stabilize patients experiencing severe blood loss. The faster the patient can be stabilized, the better the outcomes.

Thanks to the incredible support of generous sponsors and enthusiastic community participation, Charity Classic has raised more than $4.2 million over the past 16 years to support healthcare excellence in the North Okanagan.

Fund-A-Need: Direct Impact in Action

Each year, we ask our medical teams:

“What equipment, if purchased today, would have the biggest impact on the quality of care delivered to patients in our region?”

These essential items form the heart of our Fund-A-Need portion of the Charity Classic evening program, where generous individuals create real-world change for patients, families, and neighbours right here in the North Okanagan.
