CeeLo Green headlines Vancouver fundraiser from which Surrey Memorial Hospital will benefit.

Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation has been named one of the charitable recipients of an upcoming Vancouver fundraiser featuring singer-songwriter Cee Lo Green.

The Grammy Award-winning artist and mentor on the hit TV show The Voice will perform live at the 7th Annual Brian Jessel BMW Gala Fundraiser, Cabriolet, which takes place June 23 at the dealership.

The event will partially benefit the new children’s ER currently being built at SMH. The children’s ER will be a central part of a 57,600 square foot Emergency Centre to be located on the first floor of the eight-storey Critical Care Tower.

The new children’s ER will be family-oriented with special care teams, specialized equipment resources and more space.

It will also include its own separate entrance to reduce anxiety for children and their families. The children’s ER will open with the rest of the Emergency Centre next year, while the remainder of the Critical Care Tower will be complete in 2014.

General admission to the Vancouver fundraiser is $200, while VIP admission tickets are $500. All tickets will include:

• Live concert access

• Complimentary valet parking

• Complimentary beverages

• Complimentary appetizers provided by Vancouver’s top dining establishments

• A silent and live auction

• A chance to win a one-year lease of a new 2012 Brian Jessel BMW
