Each year, more than 4,000 babies are born at Regina General Hospital, with over 500 of those newborns requiring care in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). This means that one in every eight babies born in Regina and its surrounding areas needs specialized support during their critical early days, weeks, or months.Our daughter, Eleanor, was among those who required such care. Born in August 2022, more than seven weeks early and weighing just 4 pounds, 4 ounces, her arrival was both sudden and challenging. Due to a high demand for NICU space, we were nearly transferred out of the province. However, thanks to the prompt and expert care provided by the NICU team at Regina General Hospital, Eleanor was born safely and received the essential care she needed during her first crucial months.
Our family remains deeply grateful for the exceptional care we received, and last year, we channeled that gratitude into action by hosting the inaugural "Local Bands for Tiny Hands" Cabaret. Thanks to the generous support from our community, we successfully raised nearly $16,000 for the NICU. This year, we are excited to announce the second annual "Local Bands for Tiny Hands" Cabaret, scheduled for March 1, 2025. The event will feature Saskatchewan's own, Justin LaBrash with band True North as the headliner, with Karissa Hoffart opening the evening. We are eager to build on last year’s success with an even more impactful event.
