Thank you for supporting our 10th annual Heart of a Champion Dinner at Blue Water Cafe in Vancouver on January 31, 2024!
Cost:
$1,000/person ($800 tax receipt)
$500/alumni ($300 tax receipt)
We raised $21,000 (net) at this event for need-based scholarships.
All proceeds from this event go towards Scholarships for deserving Spartan Student-Athletes!
Hosted by the Spartan Foundation, this annual dinner took place at one of Vancouver’s finest restaurants, Blue Water Cafe.
This wonderful evening brings together an incredible group of like-minded people with the goal to raise funds for scholarships for deserving Spartan student-athletes from Trinity Western University. Over the past 9 years we have raised over $274,000 for the scholarship fund. Aside from enjoying an amazing meal together, networking and connecting with each other, you will be inspired to hear how these funds can impact the lives of student-athletes.
If you were not able to join us at the dinner, we ask you to prayerfully consider donating to the cause and supporting our deserving student-athletes.
