5th Annual Overdose Awareness Fundraiser Remembering Parm

On Saturday, August 22, 2026, the Sanghera family will host the 5th Annual Overdose Awareness Fundraiser in memory of Parm Sanghera, who tragically passed away from toxic drug poisoning in November 2021 at the age of 26.

The event will once again take place at Mill Pond Park in Mission, a meaningful location that was one of Parm’s favourite places to visit. The fundraiser brings community members together to remember Parm and others whose lives have been lost to the toxic drug crisis, while raising awareness and helping reduce the stigma surrounding substance use and substance-related deaths.

Parm’s parents, Sherry and Kal, continue to share important information with the community about recognizing the signs of an overdose and how to respond effectively. Their ongoing advocacy helps encourage open conversations, greater understanding, and potentially lifesaving knowledge.

This year, funds raised will support Fraser House Society, Mission Hospice Society, and Sara for Women, helping these local organizations continue providing important services within our community.

The event will be held from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Mill Pond Park, 10969 Dewdney Trunk Road, Mission.

Fraser House Society is honoured to once again be part of this meaningful community event as we come together to remember Parm, raise awareness, and support individuals and families affected by the toxic drug crisis.
