THANK YOU!

Thank you to everyone who was able to ‘share the love’ and join our emcees Mark Madryga and Steve Darling on Saturday October 30th, 2021 for The Centre for Child Development’s Virtual Gala of Hope – That’s Amore! We’re so grateful for the generous support of our Gala participants, sponsors, auction bidders, and volunteers, especially considering the great need in our community and the challenges of the past 18 months. Thank you to everyone for your continued support, helping The Centre provide life-changing services to so many children with special needs.

WITH YOUR HELP WE RAISED:

over $125,000*

*Including $60,000 gift-in-kind

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR GALA ATTENDEES, SPONSORS, AUCTION BIDDERS, AND VOLUNTEERS!

YOUR SUPPORT MAKES A DIFFERENCE!

By adapting our service provision to combine virtual sessions with some in-person services, we’ve been able to continue supporting children with special needs. Despite pandemic challenges, last year we helped over 3,000 children through 30,000+ service sessions in Surrey, White Rock, Langley and Delta, including over 200 children at Sophie’s Place.

Your support helps these vital programs:

Eating Skills Program – helps children whose feeding safety is compromised due to developmental disabilities
Casting and Splinting Program – provides splints/casts free of charge to help children support and improve hand/leg function
Equipment Team Program – provides mobility device customizations, maximizing each child’s unique mobility needs to enable full participation at home, school and the community
Hydrotherapy Pool – enables children of all mobility levels to fully participate in therapeutic programs and is fully accessible/inclusive
Sophie’s Place – provides collaborative services in a child friendly space for children that have been physically or sexually abused.
