Nov 2010 - Century Group wins Giving Hearts Award

Century Group was presented the Vancouver Association of Fundraising Professional’s Giving Hearts award in the outstanding corporation category for its philanthropic work throughout Delta. Awarded alongside Scotiabank, Sean Hodgins, President of Century Group, accepted the award with pride for the local company at a ceremony held on November 17, 2010 in the Vancouver Convention Centre to mark National Philanthropic Day.
 
The Giving Heart’s Award recognizes individuals and organizations who exemplify the true spirit of philanthropy. To qualify, corporations must demonstrate outstanding commitment through financial support, and through encouragement and motivation of others to take leadership roles towards philanthropy and community involvement
 
Century Group’s generous giving history to Delta has been longstanding and began with the nominating organization, Delta Hospital Foundation, in 1991. Since then, the company has donated over $1.6 million in support of various capital campaigns, the purchasing of medical equipment, fundraising events, CT scan campaigns, and ‘hospital’s greatest needs fund’. In addition, Century Group staff volunteer at Delta Hospital fundraising events and Hodgins is a familiar face at hospital events and activities
 
“There is no doubt that a philosophy of giving has always been a part of the Hodgins family”, said Lois Wilkinson, Delta Hospital Foundation Chair of the Board. “Sean’s father, George, began this tradition of philanthropy many years ago with Century Group. Sean has taken his father’s legacy and continued the family tradition of dedications in support of our hospital – not only by donating generously, but also by taking a leadership role in our many fundraising activities. His and Century Group’s commitment to Delta Hospital is tremendous and the entire community of Delta are the benefactors.”
 
Today, Century Group contributes financially to many local organizations. Some of their key benefactors are: The George Hodgins Memorial Charity Golf Tournament, Delta Hospice Society, Delta Chamber of Commerce, Earthwise Society, Tsawwassen Boundary Bay Loins Society, and Tour De Delta
 
Winners yesterday also included: Tsawwassen’s own Dr Irving K. Barber for outstanding philanthropist, Barbara Stewart for outstanding volunteer fundraiser, and Zameer Devraj for outstanding youth philanthropist.
