Dine Against Diabetes

“As a young girl,” said Prabjit, “my dad was my hero. Without hesitation,
I called him on the phone one day and asked him to contribute towards bringing about further awareness on diabetes, something I have struggled with for the past 27 years”. From this stemmed Dine Against Diabetes. 

In collaboration with Canadian Diabetes Association Basant Foundation organized and hosted a fundraising dinner in February 2015: they raised $52, 000. The proceeds, all 100% went to the Canadian Diabetes Association for researching a cure to the disease, as well to help youth initiatives. Almost 250,000 British Columbians live with this serious disease. Moved by his daughter, Baldev sought to bring an increased awareness of both type-1 & Type-2 diabetes, a cause close to his heart. The guest speakers provided information on the disease to the audience.
