The Full Story
1ST ANNUAL ILLUMINATE GALA
In November of 2024 I was honored to be a table sponsor at the first ever "Illuminate Mental Health Gala." The goal was to raise $25, 000 for a local organization called Foundry. Foundry Ridge Meadows offers young people ages 12 - 24 access to health and social services.
THEIR MISSION
Their mission is to provide mental health and substance use support, peer support and primary care to our most vulnerable.
They also offer family and caregiver support, recreational therapy, options for sexual health and counseling giving our youth the best chance possible as they step out into the world.
OUR VISION
While our vision was to provide $25, 000 in funding to help this cause, thanks to everyone who attended, volunteered, sponsored, and donated, we were able to exceed our goal and raise a whopping $31, 260!

Thank you to the incedible hosts Ariane Jaschke - Capture Photography in Pitt Meadows, BC and Cheri Hamm - Mortgage Specialist at The Place To Mortgage, Maple Ridge, BC for putting on such an amazing event. It was a privilege and I look forward to next year.
