Opera Mariposa
Thanks to generous event sponsors and the talent and giving hearts of sisters Jacqueline and Stephanie Ko, both of whom live with ME, the MEFM Society of BC has been the grateful recipient of over $90,000 in eight years — funds that are already making a difference in the lives of thousands of patients and their families throughout the province.
