1
00:00:00,395 --> 00:00:03,145
(pleasant music)

2
00:00:11,980 --> 00:00:15,000
- [Man] My parents put
an importance on advocacy

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,359
in the community, giving to the community.

4
00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:18,130
They love Surrey.

5
00:00:18,130 --> 00:00:20,130
- While we were growing
up, every birthday,

6
00:00:20,130 --> 00:00:22,330
she would make sure
that we put money aside.

7
00:00:22,330 --> 00:00:24,140
And then we'd go grocery shopping

8
00:00:24,140 --> 00:00:26,510
and go give food to the food bank.

9
00:00:26,510 --> 00:00:28,940
And then sometimes, during Gurpurab.

10
00:00:28,940 --> 00:00:31,550
And then it just grew
from such a small thing.

11
00:00:31,550 --> 00:00:33,650
Like, after 20 years, it turned into this.

12
00:00:38,780 --> 00:00:40,900
- We've had instances where our clients

13
00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:42,800
have come into Atwal's Insurance

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,507
and said "You know, there are
plenty of insurance offices

15
00:00:45,507 --> 00:00:47,877
"in Surrey where we can
go and give our business.

16
00:00:47,877 --> 00:00:49,547
"However, we choose to come here

17
00:00:49,547 --> 00:00:53,377
"because we know that a
certain amount of our funds

18
00:00:53,377 --> 00:00:56,690
"are gonna be used towards the
Surrey Hospital Foundation."

19
00:00:56,690 --> 00:00:59,440
And I think generally, for
all businesses to know that,

20
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,220
to have that reputation
where clients can come in

21
00:01:02,220 --> 00:01:04,240
and understand that this is a business

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,610
that gives back to its own community,

23
00:01:06,610 --> 00:01:10,370
especially with the Surrey
Hospital Foundation.

24
00:01:10,370 --> 00:01:14,300
They understand that our
family has strong ties,

25
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:17,490
the community has strong
ties, to the hospital.

26
00:01:17,490 --> 00:01:18,950
- My experience when I had my children

27
00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:20,970
at Surrey Memorial was wonderful.

28
00:01:20,970 --> 00:01:23,760
It was everything that
I had expected and more.

29
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,020
And then we've had a lot
of happy moments there,

30
00:01:26,020 --> 00:01:28,060
then we've had a lot of sad moments there.

31
00:01:28,060 --> 00:01:30,020
It's beginning, ending of life.

32
00:01:30,020 --> 00:01:33,090
I feel like it's such an important part

33
00:01:33,090 --> 00:01:35,950
of all Surrey residents.

34
00:01:35,950 --> 00:01:39,240
I feel like it's going
the way we need it to go

35
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,200
for our future and for our kids.

36
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,195
- Our mother's been
advocating the importance

37
00:01:44,195 --> 00:01:46,375
of giving our entire lives.

38
00:01:46,375 --> 00:01:50,369
My mom would tell the
general community in Surrey

39
00:01:50,369 --> 00:01:53,270
that the hospital is
important for the future.

40
00:01:53,270 --> 00:01:55,797
She would say "Everyone should donate

41
00:01:55,797 --> 00:01:57,797
"to the Surrey Hospital Foundation.

42
00:01:57,797 --> 00:01:59,927
"That should be your primary objective.

43
00:01:59,927 --> 00:02:01,767
"If you're thinking of donating money,

44
00:02:01,767 --> 00:02:03,127
"this is where you should donate it

45
00:02:03,127 --> 00:02:06,390
"because this is where
the difference is made."

46
00:02:06,390 --> 00:02:09,494
And she would actually do
this hand motion, most likely.

47
00:02:09,494 --> 00:02:11,744
(laughing)

48
00:02:16,847 --> 00:02:21,014
(moves into magical spacey music)
