Many local residents have their own reasons for giving to Royal Columbian Hospital.
The Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation is holding its 2013 Shine Gala, a shining black-tie evening to celebrate its "reasons for giving."
The event is being held on Thursday, March 28, from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Vancouver Convention Centre.
