SUMMARY:UnCharitable feat. Tom Deans and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join the Campbell River Community Foundation for a thought-provoking evening aimed at transforming conversations around charitable giving\, legacy\, and estate planning. This is a must-attend event for everyone in the community!  \n\nBeginning with a screening of the acclaimed documentary\, UnCharitable\, traditional constraints that hinder non-profit organizations from achieving their missions are challenged.

Debunking the common misconceptions around estate planning\, the event intends to show that every estate is worth planning for. This evening is about empowering everyone with the knowledge to make thoughtful decisions for their family and community\, ensuring their legacy is secure and impactful. \n\nAn exclusive pre-show reception will begin at 5:00 pm\, offering ticket holders the chance to mingle with the speakers and representatives from 6 local charities with endowment funds at the Foundation including Greenways Land Trust\, Campbell River Hospital Foundation\, Campbell River Hospice Society\, Campbell River Food Bank\, Tidemark Theatre\, and Campbell River Museum. \n\nBIOGRAPHIES: \n\nLyle Carlstrom is a barrister\, solicitor\, notary\, and businessman with a social conscience.
