BRANDING AND CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

$10M Capital Campaign | Hospice Vaughan

– THE CHALLENGE –

Dying in a hospice setting is a vastly superior experience to dying in a crowded hospital – which is where 70% of Canadians spend our final hours. In order to raise $10M to build a much-needed 10-bed residential hospice in the City of Vaughan, how do you inspire people to support a better death for their loved ones… and themselves?

– APPROACH –

Death – it’s where we’re all headed, but many don’t like to think about it – so we approached this project with a great deal of sensitivity. Such a powerful topic called for an equally powerful campaign. The “Better Ending” campaign was launched to raise awareness and move donors to action for a new Hospice Vaughan Centre of Excellence and better end-of-life care. Key deliverables included strategic planning, an updated brand identity, a new website, case for support, outdoor signage and social media. These initiatives were all aimed at dispelling myths around dying and connecting with the public in an inclusive and uplifting way.

– RESULTS –

The Vaughan community has rallied around this exceptional project.
A groundbreaking ceremony took place in April 2018 and the Mario & Nick Cortellucci Hospice Palliative Care Centre of Excellence is now open.
