“Our generous donors and partners create an incredible ripple effect of positive change for kids, their families, and the communities they live in,” says Andrea Tang, chief executive officer, Variety BC. “Variety Week is special because it reminds us that one week can change countless lives—and we rely on critical support from the community during this time to provide life-changing equipment, resources, and services to kids and families across British Columbia.”
