For Lily. For families. For the kids.
Over dinner, new parents Lindsay and Craig Sabourin were talking about the wellbeing of their child. Their close friends, Lucas and Mellissa Mollberg, were facing something no parent is prepared for.
In the summer of 2022, their five-year-old daughter Lily developed headaches. A hospital visit revealed a brain tumour, and she was airlifted from Victoria General Hospital to BC Children’s Hospital for urgent surgery.
The experience inspired the two families to join forces. Together, they created Peninsula Gives to support the hospital and the children and families who depend on it.
A community answers the call
As a business owner, Craig Sabourin understood how many causes ask for support—and how much a local business community can accomplish together. Peninsula Gives brings that generosity into a different event each year, with children at the heart of it all.
What began as a personal conversation has grown into $2m+ raised, with the help of 50+ local businesses.
