What To Bring To The 30th Annual Christmas Wish Breakfast – A Handy Guide
Each year we ask Vancouverites to join us at the Hotel for our annual Christmas Wish Breakfast and to donate a new, unwrapped toy to the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, in order to make Christmas special for families in need.
The gift most commonly given are stuffed animals for little kids (the LMCB receives thousands of them), however, teenagers are in the most need of toys during the holiday season.
While the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau appreciates ALL gifts given, they would like to request that donors offer toys for tweens and teens and even helped put together a wish list for Santa!
Babies, toddlers and preschoolers:
Elementary school kids, tweens and teens:

Pan Pacific Vancouver Hosts the 26th Annual Doormen’s Gala
On Friday, October 27, it was our honour to host Concord Pacific’s 26th Annual C.H.I.L.D. Foundation Doormen’s Dinner. The C.H.I.L.D. Foundation, established in 1995 by Grace McCarthy, OC, OBC, Lindsay Gordon, and Mary Parsons, funds research for children stricken with Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, and liver disorders.
This year, Mary Parsons and the Greater Vancouver Doormen’s Association hosted the fundraising dinner that drew 250 guests to our Crystal Pavilion Ballroom. The evening kicked off with the colourful Parade of Doormen from British Columbia, Alberta, New York, and included live and silent auctions, a game of Heads or Tails, musical entertainment provided by the Dominik Heins Quartet and hosting duties by Global News’ Samantha Falk.

For dessert, guests enjoyed a traditional Black Forest cake with green chocolate garnish.
