A LIFT UP: Lift the Children is a humanitarian organization focused on helping abandoned African children by providing a safe, nurturing and loving environment.
Founded by former United Furniture Warehouse mogul John Volken, the foundation aims to provide food, shelter and education to the most vulnerable and lift them out of poverty. Presently, the charity supports over 10,000 children in more than 80 orphanages thanks to its fundraising efforts.
Volken, along with business and community leader Abdul Ladha, recently held Lift the Children’s second annual fundraising dinner at the Fairmont Pacific Rim. Emceed by Saving Hope’s Erica Durance, a well-heeled crowd of Metro Vancouver’s top leaders, executives and philanthropists gathered to learn more of the charity’s efforts.
