12th Annual Fundraiser Gala

From the bottom of our hearts, we THANK YOU again and again, dearest friends and family. We are deeply humbled by your love and support, and we are grateful that you continue to walk alongside us through all the years in our efforts to give hope and opportunities to underprivileged children & communities. If we may acknowledge the amazing contributions of so many for making our 12th Annual CVBF fundraiser a huge success, as we raised over $60,000:

First and foremost, we are so thankful to all the businesses who sponsored our event and all the individuals who donated items for our silent auction! We are especially thankful for all the beautiful friends and family who joined us for dinner, as proceeds from the ticket sales helped immensely!

We cannot thank Dr. Cecile Phan enough for being our amazing MC, Dr. Grace Le for overlooking the Van Tran CVBF Memorial Bursary, and Ms Dong and the Chua Phat Quang congregation for all your support.

Many thanks to the CPQ Dance Troupe — Ashley Phan, Kathy Tong, Kim Chau, Vivian Tran, Vicky Tran, Mackenzie Wojcik, Cindy Tran, Angel Phan — for the beautiful Umbrella dance performance. And of course, the talented Michelle & Lily Dang for choreographing the beautiful piece.

Thank you to Ms Hanh Nguyen & Tiet Nguyen for knitting the pumpkins and the artists Chinh Nguyen & Nam Nguyen, Patricia Ashley, and Joan Goudreau for your fabulous artwork!

We are so touched by friends like Dr. Steve & Thao Choi and Ms Hanh & Chi Nguyen for travelling from Ontario to be with us. Special thanks to Mrs Vicky Baril and family for your steadfast support through all the years.

And thank you to Mr Doug Chalke, Tom Inglis, Bill Harany for your generous support through the years. And last but not least, thank you to all the young volunteers who ran around putting up posters, setting up the auction items, etc! You were all incredible.

We couldn’t have done this without any of you!! We love you all so much!!
