A Night For NICU will light up the stage with stars to support the 2023 Warm Embrace Campaign, dedicated to building a Tier 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for the East Kootenay Regional Hospital.

To bring this dream to reality, A Night For NICU will gather some of Canada’s top Country Music Talent for a once-in-a-lifetime intimate concert, staged on the Derby Grounds in Fernie. This extraordinary event is dedicated to making a lasting impact on the lives of families in our community.

The NICU, with a total project cost of $3.16 million, is a collaborative effort between the Province of BC, the Kootenay East Regional Hospital District, East Kootenay Foundation for Health (EKFH), and now Bearspaw Community First. With a current shortfall of $1.8 million, The Bearspaw Community First Foundation, with the help of The Festival Company and the Canadian Country Music Community, has come together to support and reach its goal of $1.8 million to build the NICU.

For sponsors contributing over $50,000, you can experience an exclusive opportunity: a Ferrari driving experience. Step into the driver’s seat of luxury, as your support propels the project vision of a thriving NICU. Your generosity will not only be celebrated but also experienced firsthand, as you revitalize the dreams of families in need.

This event is a private event and packages can be purchased, as well as donations made, through Tara Cleave at tara@thefestivalcompany.com.
