Outstanding Volunteer with Heart

“We make a living by what we get, but we live a life by what we give.
 We make a life by what we give.”

Sing Lim Yeo

 

Volunteers form the backbone of successful charitable organizations. On November 22, National Philanthropy Day, Tapestry Foundation was honoured to see board director Sing Lim Yeo awarded a Giving Hearts Award for Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser by the Vancouver Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP).

“We are blessed to work with a fundraiser as committed as Sing,” notes Ann Adams, CEO for Tapestry Foundation for Health Care. “His guiding philosophy of “together we can make a difference and enjoy a better quality of life” has been a significant asset to Tapestry Foundation. We are all grateful for his giving spirit, guidance and unwavering support of our work.”

A member of the Tapestry Foundation board since 2008, Mr. Yeo has been instrumental in developing the Foundation’s annual signature fundraising dinner - the Scotiabank Feast of Fortune - an event that has generated close to $1 million for priority equipment needs at Mount Saint Joseph Hospital.

In addition to his involvement with Tapestry Foundation, Mr. Yeo has also helped raise thousands of dollars by spearheading and organizing events for other health, cultural and social charities in the Lower Mainland, including the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, S.U.C.C.E.S.S and Chinese Cultural Center of Lower mainland.                                                                                         

Tapestry Foundation was proud to nominate Mr. Yeo for this year’s award and expresses its gratitude for his commitment and dedication.
