LIVERight Gala
November 14th, 2015

The LIVERight Gala is a great excuse to get decked out in your finest as we provide an amazing night of food, entertainment, and silent auction items... all for a great cause!

Proceeds from our LIVERight Gala events help support the CLF’s liver research, education, and support programs for families living with liver disease in our community. One in 10 Canadians -- including men, women and children -- lives with liver disease. Research funding is vital to providing answers and hope. You can show your support by being a sponsor, donating items for the auction, buying a ticket or table and, of course, bringing all your friends! You’ll love the food and music – and with your help, we can truly make it a night out to remember.

Stroll for Liver
June 14th, 2015

Vancouver is hosting its annual Stroll for Liver fundraising event, a family friendly, community-based outdoor walk/run in which individual or team participation is encouraged. This national event takes place in many sites across the country. The Vancouver stroll will take place in Central Park, Burnaby. The event will include various performances, refreshments, carnival activities, a volleyball field, and a playground for kids. 

Fatty liver disease has been identified as one of our key areas of focus this year. Over 3 million Canadians are affected by liver disease and fatty liver is the most common one. Causing a build-up of fat in the liver, it prevents this vital organ from fulfilling all of its duties and, as the liver becomes progressively damaged, it may  even lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer. We are organizing this event to help raise awareness on this issue and promote physical activity and healthy eating as a preventative measure for this disease.
