Great weather, beautiful location, good cause. Last Sunday July 17, our D2D members participated in S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Foundation's annual Walk with the Dragon at Stanley Park. We were proud to be the Route Sponsors for this great community event. Congratulations to S.U.C.C.E.S.S. for such a wonderful event.
The For Children We Care Gala is one of the major events hosted by BC Children's Hospital Foundation every year. To contribute in giving the 22nd annual gala a kickstart, our team has raised $10,000 in funds towards the well-anticipated gala. This July 14th, our President (Arthur Chan) and the members of our high school team (Natalie Chan and Patrick Wang) were warmly welcomed by the graceful team from BC Children's Hospital Foundation, and were given a tour around the hospital to check out their new facilities. At the end of the tour, they even had the opportunity to meet with Teri Nicholas, the president and CEO of BC Children's Hospital Foundation, and had a cheque presentation. Stay tuned for the For Children We Care gala! It will...
