The fourth annual A Night of Miracles gala raised over $350,000 to support the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital. Organized by the South Asian community, and chaired by Robin Dhir, president of Twin Brook Developments Ltd., this sold-out event brought together 400 guests, including Lt. Gov. Steven L. Point, MP Andrew Saxton and BC Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid. The evening’s Indian-inspired menu was prepared by Marriott Pinnacle executive chef Frank Gort, in collaboration with chef Vikram Vij. In addition to the silent and live auction, guests also enjoyed a live acrobat performance and danced to South Asian tracks of DJ MiB Roadshow.
In four years, A Night of Miracles, the South Asian community’s only black-tie gala, has raised over $1 million in support of BC Children’s Hospital.
