CATCHING THEM BEFORE THEY FALL

For the past 20+ years, I have been committed to initiatives to support the most vulnerable in our community. I am continuing my support of Union Gospel Mission (UGM) as a donor, fundraiser and volunteer.

My primary focus is on kids, youth and families in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. UGM’s newly opened Women and Families Centre will allow them to expand their programs for kids and youth. I will match any donation made by my clients, dollar for dollar, up to $1,000 per real estate transaction. 100% of donations go to the Women and Families Centre at UGM. Income tax receipts are available for donations over $25.
