Congratulations to our friends and collaborators at Big Gifts for Little Lives on coming up to 10 years since their founding!

Please note their search for potential donors to help with sponsoring/supporting a gala to celebrate this milestone. If you or your friends/family have a connection to organ donation and transplantation, please consider supporting them!

Congratulations!

Hey everyone!

Can you believe that Big Gifts turns 10 this year???

I am reaching out to ask if anyone knows anyone or would be interested in helping sponsor the 10th Annual Big Gifts first ever Gala and silent auction.

We are holding this special first ever event in February. I am doing a walk through at a few venues this week to price things out, but obviously everything costs money. We definitely have support from our amazing sponsors at Heritage Law Offices ( ), but we always need more!

If you are a part of a business or company that would like to help sponsor this event (like the sound, the music, a photo booth, part of the catering cost, for a transplant family to attend from out of province, or even a silent auction item) please let me know!

I can send a formal letter, and we can get your logo on absolutely everything to advertise and thank you for your generosity!

Please message me and spread the word!

Our goal is to raise $100,000 for our 10th year!!
