Vancouver-based personal injury firm Warnett Hallen LLP has confirmed its sponsorship of the upcoming 21st annual Gift of Time gala. The firm has supported the event for three consecutive years, reinforcing its commitment to local paediatric palliative care.
Scheduled for October 24 at the Fairmont Pacific Rim, the event serves as a major fundraiser for Canuck Place Children's Hospice. The gala has historically generated over $22 million to support services for families facing life-threatening childhood illnesses.
Founding partner Manjot Hallen continues to lead the firm’s philanthropic efforts in the healthcare sector. The contribution highlights the firm’s ongoing partnership with the hospice, which provides specialized medical and emotional support at no cost to families.
Corporate philanthropy remains a vital component of the Canadian healthcare ecosystem, particularly for specialized paediatric facilities that rely on a mix of public and private funding. By aligning professional services with charitable organizations, firms are increasingly focusing on long-term community impact beyond their primary business operations.
This trend reflects a broader shift toward social responsibility, where local businesses act as essential pillars for non-profit infrastructure. Supporting paediatric hospice care provides a sustainable model for ensuring that families have access to grief counseling, pain management, and respite services without financial barriers.
