Pacific Centre Family Services Association (PCFSA) is hosting its annual fundraising gala, AURORA: Illuminating Tomorrow, on October 29 at the Beachlands Experience Centre on the Colwood waterfront. Tickets are available now through Zeffy, a zero-fee platform that lets the nonprofit keep every dollar raised.
The event features chef-curated cuisine, live entertainment, and a live auction, with proceeds going to PCFSA’s mental health services, healthcare access, food security programs, and community-based supports for children, youth, adults, and seniors across the West Shore.
This is a new venue for the organization’s annual gala. In 2024, the group’s gala raised over $45,000 for mental health programs that benefit more than 5,000 individuals and families each year.
PCFSA has served South Vancouver Island for 58 years, with locations in Colwood, Langford, and Sooke. The nonprofit operates the Westshore Community Health Centre in partnership with Island Health and receives provincial funding of about $4 million annually once the centre reaches full capacity.
The Beachlands Experience Centre is a 15,000-square-foot facility at the corner of Metchosin Road and Latoria Boulevard, featuring a 141-foot by 14-foot glass wall with panoramic ocean views.
