The Dragon Ball 2010 - Metro Toronto Convention Centre (February 6, 2010)

Grand Raffle Draw: The Grand Raffle prizes awarded 14 prizes, including a 2010 Lexus HS250h, a trip for two to Argentina, jewelry and Rogers’ BlackBerry Bold smartphones. Centrepiece: One lucky patron from each table brought home A Year of the Tiger commemorative centerpiece, sponsored by World Wildlife Fund. Special Honours: During the event, AGF Management Limited was presented the prestigious Corporate Community Champion Award sponsored by PricewaterhouseCoopers fo its contribution to Yee Hong. Mr. Neil Tait, Special Advisor to the President and CEO on Asia of BMO Bank of Montreal and a Yee Hong Foundation Director, was honoured as the recipient of the Golden Achievement Award for his two-decade long of support to Yee Hong and the Chinese community. “Our objective was to deliver a memorable evening and raise as much funds for the seniors as possible,” Martin Hubbes, Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer of AGF Management Limited, said proudly. “I’m sure our 1,300 patrons would agree that the committee achieved both objectives.” Yee Hong is currently serving 15,000 seniors and their families across the GTA through its 805 long-term care beds, senior housing, community-based programs, medical and rehab services. Many of the programs and its current standard of service delivery are not funded by the government. In order to sustain our level of care delivery and many community based programs, Yee Hong Community Wellness Foundation needs to raise $2.5 million each year. “By 2015, there will be more senior citizens in Canada than there will be children under the age of 15. That is unprecedented in Canadian history.” Dr. Joseph Wong, Founder and Chair of Yee Hong Foundation, explains. “Providing dignified and compassionate care for our seniors is not just about honouring the past, it’s also about the future… our future.” The Dragon Ball 2010 Photo .: Prev Page :.
