Our 17th annual Life Commitment Gala is right around the corner!
 
We are so grateful to the many hands, hearts, and minds who donate their time, products or experiences to this event. Their generosity goes a long way towards supporting our programming and our community. 
 
If you’re joining us this year, please take a moment to help us thank the sponsors who make Life Commitment possible.

This year, we are thrilled to have RBC PH&N Investment Counsel as our presenting sponsor.

RBC was the Dr. Peter Centre’s first corporate sponsor. Today, they continue that legacy by backing our most vital fundraising event. This event would not happen without their support. Thank you.

We are so lucky to have TG Jewellers bringing the bling and sparkle to our raffle! 
 
This year, they’ve generously donated a 14K white gold diamond tennis bracelet, featuring 54 round lab grown diamonds totaling 6 carats. Designed to capture the light with every movement, this classic piece offers effortless sophistication and enduring beauty, with a retail value of $7,880.
 
Raffle tickets to win this stunning piece are only available at Life Commitment on September 19.

This year, we’re pouring only the best for our Life Commitment attendees!

Phantom Creek Estates has generously donated delicious local wines to keep us hydrated for the duration of the event.

Our organization has grown and changed but some things remain a constant.

CBC Vancouver’s Gloria Macarenko has been our dedicated emcee from the very beginning. We are so lucky to have her guiding us through another impactful evening this year.

There are so many companies who give back to this event, but a few stand out.

We want to say a big thank you to our In-Kind Sponsors:
RBC
One Wednesday
Tallu
Bon Vivant Catering & Events
Costa Palmas
SAICHO | Sparkling Tea
bnftsclinic

Their donations help maintain the magic of this event. 
 
We can’t wait to see you in just over two weeks!

It's hard to believe that we are about to host our Life Commitment Gala for the 17th year in a row. Over the years, people have come and gone, but two very special attendees have been a constant presence. We owe a huge thank you to Fred Lee and Gloria Macarenko for their many years of dedication to this event, and the Centre.

We couldn't ask for a better duo to guide us through the evening. They have helped us sustain a mission that began with their good friend Shirley Young, Dr. Peter's mom. This event takes a community, and we're so grateful that they are part of ours. We can't wait to see them on our stage in just one month! We hope you'll join us.
