In August of 2010, the Squamish Rotary Club was made aware that the Hospice Society had a short fall of funding.

The upcoming Squamish Live Music Festival was the Rotary Club's next fundraising effort and the executive assigned a percentage of the profits from the Beef BBQ to be donated in the name of the Squamish Hospice.  The fundraiser was unsuccessful resulting in a deficit… which in Rotary means the members pick up the shortfall.

Rotarian Lloyd Ingraham took up the cause and challenged his fellow Rotarians to go to the well again to assist this important service.  Fourteen Rotarians stepped up to the plate increasing the seed money donated by Lloyd to a final total of $6,200.00

The Bank of Nova Scotia offered a challenge that would match up the first $5,000, therefore the Lloyd Ingraham Challenge to the Rotary Club of Squamish resulted in a total of $11,200 towards the continuing service of the Squamish Hospice Society.

Thank you Lloyd and your fellow Rotarians and the Bank of Nova Scotia.
