Annual Fundraiser Visions Gala at the Empress Hotel in support of the VHF

Over nearly two decades I have donated a significant work of art to the VHF Gala Auction which is their largest annual fund-raising event.  In 2019 I was designated as a “Companion” donor, and as of April 2021 the total funds raised by my artwork exceeded $36,000.   I am very proud to be recognized by this important organization that provides vital medical equipment and support to our community.

BC Cancer Foundation

The fund-raising committee of BC Cancer Foundation (Victoria) hosts an Annual Fundraiser known as Jingle Mingle held at the Empress Hotel in December each year. I have donated a large painting to this auction fundraiser for the past 6 or more years.

Roots Reunited

Sponsoring Refugee families from the Middle East to Canada.

“What brings us together is a shared vision of bringing refugees to safety in our community, and reuniting extended family members.”

I have supported this group in a variety of ways, most recently with the donation of a painting to their online auction.
