On behalf of The Kidney Foundation of Canada, BC & Yukon Branch, I am excited to share with you the 2017 Kidney Gala sponsorship package. Formerly known as the “Shine a Light Kidney Gala”, we are proud of the new design and concept around the 2017 Kidney Gala. For four years we watched our Gala grow in popularity and success. This year, we are taking things to a whole new level and we invite you to be a part of this inspirational event!

This annual event brings together leaders in the kidney community, nephrologists, people from business and philanthropic communities,

political dignitaries, and our amazing kidney patients. The Kidney Gala has developed through

a joint effort between The Kidney Foundation of Canada, BC & Yukon Branch and the Canadian Society of Nephrology to directly help the lives of people suffering from kidney disease. Funds raised at the Kidney Gala support our Patient Services & Public Education program, Saving Lives Through Organ Donation campaign and world-class research.

The positive impact this event has on kidney patients would not be possible without our generous sponsors. I encourage you to consider contributing to the growth and success of the Kidney Gala by becoming a sponsor. If you are a past sponsor – we appreciate your continued support. If you are a new sponsor, we are excited to have you join in our 5th year! Your support is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Anne Schultz Board President The Kidney Foundation of Canada, BC & Yukon Branch

GALA FUNDRAISER

Join us on Thursday, March 9, 2017 (World Kidney Day) at the

Fairmont Hotel Vancouver to celebrate the 5th Annual Kidney

Gala. Last year tickets to attend the Gala SOLD OUT and

thanks to our guests and sponsors, we raised a record breaking

$230,000! The Kidney Gala brings attention to kidney disease,

the people it affects, the people who care for them, and those

who are doing research to help prevent, treat, and even one day

find a cure for this serious disease. The Gala hosts hundreds of

people including nephrologists, political dignitaries, business and

philanthropic communities, kidney patients and other

distinguished guests. We are excited for what the 5th Annual

Kidney Gala has in store for our guests! The evening will begin

with a VIP Reception for our Sponsors, having the opportunity

to network over cocktails and appetizers before enjoying a

gourmet, 3-course dinner. Due to popular demand, our Wine &

Spirits Wall will return, as will the Leadership Challenge and our

much anticipated live and silent auctions.

We are a national volunteer organization that is

committed to kidney health and improved lives

for all people affected by kidney disease.

Our mission is to fund and stimulate innovative

research; provide education and support;

promote access to high quality healthcare; and

increase public awareness and commitment to

advancing kidney health and organ donation.

To date, in 2016 we have:

Provided 33 post-transplant adults with accommodation in our Kidney Suites;

Sent 40 kids to Kidney Kids Camp;

Received 3324 car donations to our Kidney Car program;

Supported 350 people with kidney disease in nearly $100,000 in grants and $8,000 in interest free loans; and

Raised nearly $110,000 for National Research.

Sponsorship Dollars — Tax Information from Revenue Canada: Sponsorship dollars are amounts paid to a registered charity that are not gifts because the sponsor receives something in exchange. They are usually paid to support a charity event in return for advertising or some other consideration. In this situation, the business has not made a gift to the charity and the charity cannot issue an official tax receipt. The business can usually claim the payment of the value of the merchandise as a business expense.
