On June 13, Telus Friendly Future Foundation hosted its inaugural fundraising event, “Together for Tomorrow: A Friendly Future Gala,” which raised more than $2.5 million to support youth from underserved communities. More than 700 guests at the Telus Centre for Performance and Learning enjoyed fine dining, a concert featuring Juno-winning performers and an auction.
