BTHC Foundation Connects with Manitoba Angel Dresses

The BTHC Foundation was honoured to help bring the Boundary Trails Health Centre Obstetrics team together with Manitoba Angel Dresses and accept the donation of a CuddleCot. BTHC was one of four facilities to receive this gift, funded by Manitoba Angel Dresses’ calendar sales.

A CuddleCot is a special cooling system that gives parents the time and dignity they need during those first tender hours. It allows grieving families more time with their little one, supporting memory-making and important moments that aid in grief and healing.

Manitoba Angel Dresses is a nonprofit organization, providing hand-sewn angel outfits to families experiencing infant loss. Thank you for supporting our families during their loss.

BTHC Foundation Celebrates 25 Years at 2025 Gala

Thank you our sponsors and guests for joining the BTHC Foundation for its 25th anniversary gala event. Sponsored by Access Credit Union, the evening was a retrospective on the history of the BTHC Foundation through video and guest speakers. Special thank you to those that embraced this year’s “High School Reunion” theme! The evening was an opportunity to connect and reflect on the Foundation’s rich history. Over $110,000 was raised to enhance healthcare at Boundary Trails Health Centre. Thank you!

The Foundation was excited to introduce a new element to the evening – “Spiked Bags”, sponsored by Appelt’s Diamonds. Each bag was packed with local goodies and coupons. Only 100 bags were available to purchase and five of them were “SPIKED” with a pair diamond earrings, valued at $499, donated by Appelt’s. The bags were so popular, they sold out in under 30 minutes!
Congratulations to our earring winners: Christy C., Joanne A., Glenda H., Brenda B., and Richard D.!

We were thrilled to welcome back Lazy Bear Expeditions to this year’s event and be able to raffle off a summer trip of a lifetime to Churchill, Manitoba. Congratulations to Patti R., our lucky winner!

We’re already looking forward to next year! Save the date for Friday, October 23rd at the Access Event Centre in Morden!
Secure your spot for next year and contact the Foundation office at office@bthcfoundation.com.
