Celebrating the strength of mothers—and the generosity of community
With incredible heart, guests at the 2025 Shine Mother’s Day Tea came together on May 11 and raised a record breaking $738,000 to help bring a super-resolution confocal microscope to BC Children’s Hospital. This inspiring support will help provide researchers at BC Children’s with the advanced technology they need to pursue critical breakthroughs—especially in the search for answers to rare and hard-to-diagnose conditions.
The impact of this year’s event extends far beyond a single afternoon. It reflects the unwavering compassion and generosity of a community determined to build a better future for kids across the province.
