S.U.C.C.E.S.S. 50th Golden Anniversary Bridge to S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Gala to feature Hong Kong star

Vancouver, B.C. – S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Foundation is thrilled to announce that the 2023 Bridge to S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Gala, which is scheduled for Saturday, April 8 at the Westin Bayshore Hotel in Vancouver, will feature Hong Kong singer-songwriter Christopher Wong.

This year’s Gala coincides with our agency’s 50th Golden Anniversary celebration, marking our five decades of community service, following S.U.C.C.E.S.S.’ founding in 1973.

“I’m delighted to be celebrating this historic milestone at this year’s Bridge to S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Gala,” said CEO Queenie Choo. “At its heart, S.U.C.C.E.S.S. is about building a community of care and support. Looking back at our achievements over the past 50 years, I am amazed and honoured by all the passion and dedication that our staff, supporters and donors have brought to our mission of changing lives.”

The fundraising target for this year’s Gala is $500,000.  Proceeds from the Gala will go to 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 four languages, and our community programs for seniors.

“We would not have been able to host the Gala all these years without the generous support of community leaders, corporate sponsors, individual donors as well as all three levels of government,” said Foundation Board Chair Jason Lam. “Thank you all for your continued support. Now, let’s come together to write the next golden chapter of our S.U.C.C.E.S.S. story.”

Each year, the Gala draws hundreds of business and community supporters for a luxurious night of philanthropy, featuring a cocktail reception, live entertainment, luxurious silent and live auctions and fine dining. This year, celebrity Hong Kong performer Christopher Wong will headline the Gala.

“Our gala has a tradition of giving our guests a memorable evening by inviting celebrities to perform and this year is no exception. We will have a great show for our guests,” said Gala Co-Chair and Foundation Board member Stephanie Li. “As a renowned singer-songwriter from Hong Kong, Christopher Wong is praised by his fans as the ‘Prince of Love Songs.’ We’re excited he will be sharing his talents in support of S.U.C.C.E.S.S., and we hope everyone will be able to join us for this golden gala performance.”

Tickets are now on sale at the $388, $588, and $888 tier levels via our S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Foundation website at www.successfoundation.ca You can also support S.U.C.C.E.S.S. by visiting our online auction and purchasing raffle tickets when sales open in March.

S.U.C.C.E.S.S. 50th Golden Anniversary Bridge to S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Gala to feature Hong Kong star

香港明星助慶「50週年金禧中僑星輝夜」

卑詩省,溫哥華—中僑基金會很高興地宣佈,香港唱作人黃凱芹將受邀參加定於4月8日星期六在溫哥華灣岸威斯汀酒店舉行的中僑星輝夜。

今年的晚會恰逢1973年成立的中僑互助會50週年金禧年慶,標誌著我們的社區服務已經邁入第50個年頭。

「我很高興在今年的中僑星輝夜慶祝這一歷史性的裡程碑,」行政總裁周潘坤玲說:「中僑互助會的核心是建立一個關愛和支持的社區。回顧我們在過去50年的成就,我對我們的員工、支持者和捐贈者為我們改變生活的使命所帶來的熱情和奉獻精神感到驚訝和榮幸。」

今年晚會的籌款目標是500,000元。晚會的收益將用於資助沒有得到政府資助或僅得到部分資助的中僑服務項目,譬如我們的諮詢服務、以四種語言提供幫助的心理熱線,以及我們為長者提供的社區項目。

「如果沒有社區領袖、企業贊助商、個人捐助者以及所有三級政府的慷慨支持,我們將無法在這些年裡舉辦晚會,」中僑基金會理事會主席林頌恩說:「感謝你們所有人的持續支持。現在,讓我們一起譜寫我們中僑故事的下一個黃金篇章。」

每年,晚會都會吸引數以百計的商業和社區支持者參加一個華麗的慈善之夜,包括雞尾酒會、現場娛樂、奢華的無聲拍賣和現場拍賣以及精美的晚宴。今年,香港知名唱作人黃凱芹將成為晚會的亮點。

「我們的晚會有一個傳統,即通過邀請名人表演給我們的客人一個難忘的夜晚,今年也不例外。我們將為我們的客人准備一場精彩的演出,」晚會聯合主席和基金會理事會成員Stephanie Li說:「作為來自香港的著名創作歌手,黃凱芹被他的粉絲稱贊為『情歌王子』。我們很高興他將分享他的才華以支持中僑,我們希望每個人都能來參加我們這個金禧週年晚會。」

門票現正通過我們的中僑基金會網站www.successfoundation.ca,以$388、$588和$888的級別出售。無聲拍賣和獎券三月開始發售,屆時也可以通過訪問我們的無聲拍賣和購買抽獎券來支持中僑。
