2023 Holiday Gift Guide
Celebrate the season of giving with a gift that gives back! Gifts of all sizes from our kind and caring community help ensure Islanders receive the best health care possible, closer to home. This year, we’ve compiled a list of meaningful gifts that will not only bring joy to your loved ones but also help make a positive impact in the lives of Islanders.
Check out our Holiday Gift Guide below! For even more ways to give, you can visit https://qehfoundation.pe.ca/ways-to-give/
1. Honour a loved one or a health care hero.
In lieu of a physical gift, make a donation in honour of someone who has made a difference in your life, whether it be a family member, a friend, a leader in your community, or even a health care hero who has helped care for you at the QEH. Simply include their name and contact details as well as a personalized message (optional) when you make a donation and we will mail them a card letting them know of your caring gift.
2. Find the perfect gift at Lillibet’s
From trendy clothing to home decor, Lillibet’s has a ton of gift options for the special people in your life. Lillibet’s Gift Shop is located in the QEH lobby and proceeds from any purchase is donated to the QEH through the QEH Auxiliary.
3. Purchase a Gift Card from the Auxiliary Coffee Shop
Looking for something to gift the QEH staff member in your life? A gift card to the Auxiliary Coffee Shop for morning coffees and much needed pick-me-ups. Proceeds from the coffee shop are donated to the QEH through the QEH Auxiliary.
4. Support a community fundraiser
Support local by supporting a community fundraiser this December. Gift a Poinsettia from Van Kampen’s or a Christmas Angel from Norton’s Jewellers, purchase tickets for you and a friend to an Island Jubilee Show, or take the family for hot chocolate and a holiday light show at Cow’s Creamery. Check out our QEH Foundation Community Facebook page for all the fundraisers currently taking place!
5. Gifts for a Year
Just like a subscription, you can give the special gift of monthly donations for a whole year on behalf of a loved one. Monthly giving is a wonderful way to support the QEH Foundation! It is also a convenient way to spread your donation into manageable amounts over one or more years, ending in a significant contribution. Visit our Monthly Giving page to learn more!
6. Donate to our Annual Friends for Life Campaign
Every year, our Annual Friends for Life Campaign focuses on raising funds to purchase priority medical equipment to assist the QEH family in providing the best health care possible. Support from the community enables us to purchase life-saving, up-to-date medical equipment and technology to care for all Islanders in times of need. This year’s campaign is raising funds for a dedicated CT scanner in the emergency department. At an estimated cost of $1.3 million, this new CT scanner will be an incredible gift for patients and health care staff in the QEH.
