Charitable fundraising in British Columbia

Overview

Charitable activities in British Columbia have focused on medical and social support for children. In Kelowna, the East Meets West Children’s Foundation (EMWCF) raised $180,000 during its annual Diwali Dinner at the Parkinson Recreation Centre. A significant portion of this total, $142,000, was generated during a 15-minute donation blitz. Founder Mohini Singh stated these funds will assist underprivileged children in the Okanagan region and internationally, supporting initiatives such as food assistance in India and cleft palate surgeries in Guatemala.

In the Fraser Valley, community efforts continue to support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), also known as Breakthrough T1D. Paul and Sharan Narang, owners of Smart Wireless/Bell Mobility locations, are organizing their 17th annual fundraiser. The couple has raised nearly $700,000 for the organization over previous years, with the upcoming event scheduled for October 24 at the Westfield Country Club.
