Alice Chung - Winner, Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser Award
Alice Chung is known around the community as a woman who rolls up her sleeves to push the boundaries of the impossible. With her graceful leadership and palpable energy, Alice has harnessed the power of philanthropy to raise over $20 million for health care transformation and over $1 million towards community revitalization. All while empowering other immigrant women and women of colour like herself. She has inspired her family to follow her path, resulting in the Chung family raising over an additional $6 million for children’s health, thousands of dollars for women’s health, and donating annually to organizations that work with marginalized communities. When Alice Chung sets her mind on something, there is no doubt that success will follow.
“Philanthropy has the power to influence lasting social change.”
Alice’s leadership at VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation has materialized in numerous ways. She led the committee for the Foundation’s Time to Shine Gala as Chair and Co-Chair, helping to raise over $22 million in support of health care transformation. She was also a dedicated member of the Foundation’s Board of Directors from 2017-2023, where she used her network, expertise, and charisma to connect both new and older generations to the work of the Foundation. We are incredibly thankful for Alice’s generosity, as she has been key to helping us realize many projects including VGH’s very first hybrid operating room.
