Benefit concert planned for Kelowna woman who was victim of a hit and run

On Feb. 17, 2019, Kristine Sutherland suffered very serious injuries after a hit and run near Kelowna’s downtown core.

Her family and friends describe her as “a tough cookie,” but she’s still on a long and painful road to recovery.

Sutherland, who supports herself through a small cleaning company, has been unable to operate her own business since the incident.

A GoFundMe has helped raise over $6,000 to support Sutherland while she recovers from her injuries and now a benefit concert will be held to add to that total.

It’ll be held at 7 p.m. on Sunday, April 21 at the Blue Gator in downtown Kelowna and a number of the Okanagan’s best musicians will be involved.

Live entertainment will be hosted by Florida Man and Rumble 100, with a number of special guest performers including:

  • Jimmy Leguilloux (Power 104)
  • Kat Lawrence (The Headpins)
  • Tad Goddard (Prism)
  • Paul Sexsmith (The Hip Replacements)
  • Tim Reardon (The Young’Uns)
  • Rich Rock (Matthew Good Band)
  • Rachel Matkin (The Matkin Family Band)

The show is free but donations are encouraged and there will be 50/50 draw as well.
