COQUITLAM, BC – The Coquitlam Foundation is delighted to announce that they have recently received two generous donations from one of our steadfast supporters, Vivien Symington, of our Symington Endowment Fund. These contributions, made within the past couple of months, underscore her dedication to enhancing the lives of young people and fostering sustainable growth within the community.
Following a significant donation made to the Symington Endowment Fund in February 2024 of $25,000, Vivien Symington has also recently pledged an additional $25,000 in April 2024. This series of donations highlights Vivien’s proactive approach to investing through the Coquitlam Foundation and building up funds to support her belief in the power of collective action. Vivien Symington has been a long-time supporter of the Coquitlam Foundation, demonstrating unwavering dedication through consistent contributions over the years. Her latest donations, totaling $50,000 will significantly support efforts to empower children with neuro- developmental disabilities, youth-at-risk, and high-performance gymnasts in pursuit of excellence. These initiatives are expected to create long-lasting benefits and provide essential resources to those in need.
