2024 Bridge to S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Gala raises $552,820 to fund community programs

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 16, 2024

Vancouver, B.C. – S.U.C.C.E.S.S. will be able to provide ongoing and enhanced programming thanks to generous donations of more than $552,820 from community members who attended our 2024 Bridge to S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Gala.

The 47^th annual fundraising event, held this year on March 16 at Vancouver’s Westin Bayshore Hotel, helps fund S.U.C.C.E.S.S. programs that receive no funding or partial funding from the government, such as our counselling services, our Help Lines, which are offered in r languages, and our community programs for seniors.

“It is a beautiful thing to witness the steadfast support S.U.C.C.E.S.S. continues to receive from the community, 50 years into our mission of helping newcomers succeed on their Canadian journeys,” said Queenie Choo, CEO of S.U.C.C.E.S.S. and S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Foundation. “Because of you, we’re able to assist 77,000 clients each year, providing settlement services, affordable housing, seniors care and community programs that help newcomers from more than 150 countries thrive in Canada.”

The Gala, with its Enchanted Garden theme, provided a luxurious night of philanthropy, live entertainment and fine dining to the city’s business and community leaders, including performances from Hong Kong singers Miranda Lee and Ramon Lo, a cocktail reception, silent and live auctions and raffles.

“The generosity of S.U.C.C.E.S.S. donors, event sponsors, volunteers and board members sows the seeds of success for new Canadians and marginalized groups in our community,” said Foundation Board Chair Jason Lam. “Our services make a real difference in people’s lives – whether we are helping a newcomer learn English, a youth find a first job, a family find secure housing or a senior access health care. You should be proud of your part in ensuring they get the support they need.”

2024中僑星輝夜籌得55萬加元以支持社區發展計劃

即時發佈

2024年3月16日

加拿大溫哥華 – 多謝各界慷慨捐助，我們在2024年的中僑新輝夜籌得55萬加元的善款，這筆善款將幫助中僑互助會持續提供和加強各項服務。

這是第47屆中僑新輝夜籌款活動，今年於3月16日在溫哥華Westin Bayshore Hotel舉行，這些善款有助於資助中僑互助會的社區計劃，有部分計劃未獲得或只獲得部分政府資助，例如我們的輔導服務、四種語言的心理熱線以及針對長者的社區計劃。

「看到中僑互助會持續在社區中得到大家的支持是一件美好的事情，我們已經持續了50年的使命，幫助新移民在他們的加拿大旅程中成功。」周潘坤玲女士，中僑互助會及中僑基金會行政總裁說。「因為有你們，我們每年能夠為7萬7千名客戶提供服務，提供安置服務、可負擔的住房、長者照護和社區計劃，幫助來自150多個國家的新移民在加拿大順利發展。」

這次以「仙境花園」為主題的晚宴為現場參與的慈善家、商界和社區領袖提供了一個華麗的晚宴，包括香港歌唱節目中年好聲音歌手李佳和羅啟豪的表演、雞尾酒招待、無聲和現場拍賣以及抽獎活動。

「中僑互助會的捐助者、活動贊助商、義工和董事會成員的慷慨行為，為我們社區中的新加拿大人和弱勢群體播下了成功的種子。」 中僑基金會主席林頌恩先生表示。「我們的服務在人們的生活中產生了真正的影響 – 無論是幫助新移民學習英語，還是幫助年輕人找到第一份工作，或是幫助家庭找到安全的住房，又或是幫助老年人獲得醫療保健。您應該能為幫助他們獲得所需的支持感到自豪。」
