You are helping unlock answers for kids across BC. 

On November 22, the Crystal Ball community came together for the 39th Annual Crystal Ball, presented by Nicola Wealth, raising over $6 million and counting, in support of BC Children’s Hospital. 

For nearly four decades, Crystal Ball has united a visionary group of supporters with a shared goal: to transform health care for children. This year, that vision became reality in a powerful way. The generosity of the Crystal Ball community is helping to bring a state-of-the-art 3T Research MRI to BC Children’s Hospital—the only pediatric research MRI of its kind in the province.

This advanced technology will allow researchers and clinicians to see inside the developing brain and body with unmatched clarity, accelerating discoveries in areas like mental health, neurology and cardiology. It will enable faster, gentler scans, reduce the need for sedation and inform more personalized approaches to care.   

The impact of this technology extends far beyond the hospital walls. Every discovery made with this technology will improve care for generations of children across our province and beyond. 

We are deeply grateful to our generous sponsors and supporters who made this year’s event such a success.  

Thank you for sharing our commitment to building a better world for children.
