Host a Fundraiser for Southlake
Southlake relies on generous donations from people like you to equip our clinical teams with the tools, equipment, and technology they need to provide leading edge care, close to home.
Organizing your own fundraiser for Southlake is a great way to give back and we are so grateful to every community member who supports Southlake. Whether it’s through an organized event (like a ticketed dance or dinner), a fundraising initiative led through your business (like a grand opening or donating a percentage of sales), or in recognition of a special occasion (like donations in lieu of gifts at birthdays or weddings), there are so many ways that you can make a difference at YOUR hospital!
Need ideas? Get in touch! Our team is happy to speak with you.
“Ultimately, the goal was to raise as much money as we could and the Southlake Foundation was extremely helpful.”
– Nathan Rothwell, co-founder, Pond Hockey for Southlake

Ladies in Philanthropy for Southlake (LiPS)
Ladies in Philanthropy for Southlake (LiPS) is an entertaining, engaging and inclusive circle of women looking for an opportunity to shape their local hospital with like-minded individuals. In addition to enjoying social and educational events throughout the year, LiPS donors gather annually to collectively decide which Southlake project to fund with their combined contributions of $1,000 each. Each year, they gather at Southlake to hear presentations on our hospital’s priorities (including equipment, technology and campaigns), and vote to decide what their combined gift will fund. In past years, they have helped purchase a Neonatal Open Resuscitation Bed, Laparscopic Video Tower, Vital Signs Monitors, Endo Vascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR), Surgical Operating Room lights and, last year, a SLIT lamp and Paediatric Early Warning Systems Vital Sign Monitors.

Cardiac Prevention and Rehabilitation Fundraising Program
Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation encourages everyone to get 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity each week for optimal health benefits. Join an annual event that supports the highest priority needs of the Cardiac Prevention and Rehabilitation Fundraising Program and does just that! Organized by Southlake’s very own clinicians, administrative staff and volunteers at the Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation Clinic, the event raises funds for the program’s innovations, patient assessment tools, and patient education. The Beat Goes On, formerly known as Walk of Life is a non-competitive indoor walk with fun activities and prizing – that’s great for the whole family.
