VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation’s annual Time to Shine Gala is always one of our favourite events to volunteer at! Featuring fun entertainment, glamorous guests, and priceless auction items, this fundraiser has kept us on our toes the entire night.
We witnessed as the Time to Shine Gala committee and all its supporters celebrate $2,880,105 raised. The money went towards their "Future of Surgery campaign", enhancing surgical care for British Columbians.
On top of volunteering for the gala, we also fundraised $10,000 through our e-Philanthropy Store and personal donations to support VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation. Cheers to a memorable night!
