When the business community comes together, great things happen. Vaughan Chamber's most prestigious event of the year was held yet again at Universal Event Space on May 3rd, 2018. The Vaughan Chamber celebrated the outstanding businesses and honored the 2018 award winners within 14 different categories including, the 2018 Philanthropic Business Person of the Year, which was presented to Dr. Franca Carella, Founder of The Vitanova Foundation. Franca took the stage and captivated the audience with her touching acceptance speech, which highlighted her accomplishments within the Foundation and the city of Vaughan. Franca received a standing ovation and the crowd continued to stand during her entire speech, which concluded with these words: "I promise you to be there every day. Even though my body may weaken, my mind is strong because I have a purpose, and for that purpose I am blessed."

 

Emcees, John Derringer from Q107 and Tony Monaco from Z103.5 kept the crowd, of close to 700 guests, energized throughout the evening and into the After Party. This event truly demonstrated that when the business community comes together great things happen. This year was the first time an after party was held following the awards ceremony. This was a great way to continue to celebrate this year’s winners, sponsors, nominees and guests. Attendees enjoyed cocktails, great food stations and very exciting entertainment while everyone had the opportunity to network with many businesses and organizations. All the attendees make Vaughan renowned for being the ultimate city to live and work in.
