14th Annual Big Sisters Spring Lunch Presented by |  |
We are thrilled to announce that the 2010 Big Sisters Spring Lunch, presented by Scotiabank, raised over $47,000 – a new record for this event!
Held on May 31st at the Sutton Place Hotel, the luncheon included a special segment on our agency’s 50 years of mentoring, hosted by MC Linda Parsons (Big Sisters volunteer since 1982) and featuring five past Big Sisters leaders, each representing one of our five decades. Our esteemed keynote speaker, Jessica McDonald, gave an insightful speech highlighting her career in the public service and what she learned about how to mentor and encourage others, and guests were also introduced to Trish Quan, a Little Sister from 1983, who spoke about how our program and her Big Sister Joyanne have been an important part of her life for the past 27 years (click here to read Trish’s speech).
Thank you to our Spring Lunch sponsors, guests and speakers for making this event such a success. We will be able to make 23 new mentoring matches thanks to your support! If you are interested in sponsoring the Big Sisters Spring Lunch please contact Muriel at 604.873.4525 ext. 312 or bigsisters.bc.ca.
