Foundation spotlight series: Phoenix Foundation

At the 2024 Community Impact Expo, Phoenix Foundation president Becky Clements presents the Kootenay Robusters Dragon Boat team’s Lorraine Bell-Lebedoff a certificate of appreciation for their dedication to nurturing vibrant communities.

Foundations in the Interior region raise funds that support medical equipment, care needs, and innovative local initiatives in their communities. Each organization includes respected community leaders, volunteers and staff who are passionate about meeting the needs of patients and families in Interior Health. Thanks to the generosity of their supporters, we all have a stronger health system. 

In this next story of our series on the incredible health-care and hospital foundations throughout our region, we interviewed Sandra (Sandy) Wade, executive director of the Phoenix Foundation of the Boundary Communities.
