Making a Difference

Celebrating 30 years in 2020 – Power Pioneers marked a major milestone as we reached our $1 million goal through our Miracle Millions Campaign for BC Children’s Hospital. Currently we are working to raise our second million for the Hospital that includes our Ed Turner Memorial Endowment for Medical Genetics that reached $1 million in 2023 bringing our overall total to $1.7 million and counting!
