Giving Hearts Gala

The Giving Hearts Gala took place on Saturday, February 11th, at Langley’s Coast Hotel & Convention Centre to celebrate philanthropy within the South Asian community. The gala was presented by Allure Ventures. 

CEO of Allure Ventures Garry Sangha was also present and addressed the audience. The gala was supporting Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation.

The night raised funds to renew the Spiritual Space at Langley Memorial Hospital (LMH) — a place where patients, their loved ones, and health care workers can find solace in times of crisis.

Co founders Manjit Gill and Balraj Mann were behind the 4th Giving Hearts Gala. Up to 350  guests enjoyed a South Asian fusion dinner and an evening of entertainment, including an online raffle, live, and silent auctions.
