(yes, the wine cellar each of you contributed to)Fast Facts about the Foundationwww.bchospitalityfoundation.com BC Hospitality Foundation (BCHF) - The foundation was formed in 2006 to help wine agent Michael J. Willingham pay for a costly surgery and subsequent rehabilitation following a stroke.
- Michael’s situation highlighted the need to establish a trust fund that could be used as a last-resort safety net for other industry members in need – who may not have benefits or be covered by employment insurance – such as food suppliers, hoteliers, media, publicists, retailers, vintners and wine sales representatives.
- To raise enough money to become self sustaining and to build an ongoing trust fund.
- To build strategic alliances with stakeholders and industry associations to raise awareness, raise funds, and establish the BCHF as the charity of choice.
- To facilitate and organize fundraising activities and events.
- To distribute funds to needy individuals to supplement their existing financial support in times of emergency and critical need (specific support, not ongoing indefinite support).
