Giving back is deeply rooted in the culture at Vancouver-based wealth management firm Nicola Wealth. For the second consecutive year they have come alongside Covenant House Vancouver to support Sleep Out: Executive Edition with a donation of $50,000.
This incredible gift will not only have a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of homeless youth, but it will provide necessary counseling programs, as well as shelter, clothing and food to some of our cities most vulnerable.
“We believe
in giving back to our community and that the
best way to build a strong community is to support and safeguard the next
generation,” said John Nicola, Chairman and CEO of Nicola Wealth. “We actively
work to engage our staff, as well as support them,
in giving back to their communities. Not only is the Covenant House Sleep Out life
changing for so many youth in our city, but it allows our staff to get excited
about being a part of impactful change.”
Over the
years many members of
Nicola Wealth have participated in Sleep Outs, with members of their leadership team participating
in the upcoming Executive Edition. They will
also have staff volunteering to help out the night before and will be a
welcoming face providing hot coffee and
pastries to participants the morning after the event.
“Participating
in the sleep out was eye opening,” said Murray Nelson, Business Development at
Nicola Wealth. “Not only did I get to experience a little bit of what homeless
youth go through, but it allowed me to understand the importance of programs
like the ones Covenant House provides and see just how imperative it is to have
the love and support of someone out there.”
Support
from Nicola Wealth and all Sleep Out participants goes beyond financial
backing; we work closely with generous partners like Nicola Wealth to ensure
the Sleep Out: Executive Edition is impactful in our fundraising efforts. It is
because of these partnerships that we are able to continue providing hope and
care to Vancouver’s homeless and at-risk youth.
On November 21st business leaders will use their influence to raise awareness and critical funds for vulnerable young people during our Sleep Out: Executive Edition. You can help by making a donation to support a Sleep Out participant.
Thank you Nicola Wealth for supporting Sleep Out: Executive Edition!
