2024 Hooked on Miracles Fishing Event: A Record-Breaking Success for BC Children’s Hospital

The 2024 Hooked on Miracles fishing event has once again proven to be an inspiring testament to community spirit, competitive fun, and the power of generosity. Hosted in the stunning coastal town of Tofino, BC, participants gathered not only for a thrilling fishing tournament but also to make a real impact on children's healthcare in British Columbia.

This year’s competition brought out seasoned anglers and enthusiastic newcomers, all vying for the top spot in what turned out to be an exciting contest. After a hard-fought day on the water, it was Tim Bell from Arrow Transport who emerged victorious, claiming the coveted trophy and solidifying his place in the Hooked on Miracles hall of fame. But as impressive as the fishing feats were, the true highlight of the event was the incredible support shown for BC Children's Hospital Foundation.

Thanks to the generosity of participants, donors, and auction contributors, the 2024 Hooked on Miracles event raised an astounding $132,000. Every dollar will go toward ground-breaking research and treatment initiatives at BC Children's Hospital, which continues to deliver life-changing care for children and their families. The funds raised this year will play a crucial role in improving the hospital’s ability to diagnose previously undiagnosed conditions, offering hope to families who have endured long, difficult medical journeys.

Mining for Miracles, the charitable organization behind this annual event, has been supporting BC Children’s Hospital since 1988. Over the years, Mining for Miracles has raised more than $35 million to advance pediatric care throughout BC, ensuring that children across the province have access to the best possible healthcare.

“One special moment from this year's event was seeing the true generosity of the companies and people that attended. The group collectively decided to donate $1,000 from every person/company in attendance and donated a trip back to the BC Children’s Hospital, so a well deserving family can share in the wonderful experience.” Jennifer Ferrier, Hooked on Miracles Co-Chair

With this year’s event wrapped up, the excitement is already building for 2025. Mark your calendars for June 16-19, when Hooked on Miracles returns to the beautiful Middle Beach Lodge in Tofino.
