The Mission Possible Gala

The Mission Possible Gala brings together Mission Possible associates, caring community leaders, industry experts, and dedicated supporters in celebration of transformational change in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside (DTES).

We are thrilled to announce the 17th Annual Mission Possible Gala, happening on Wednesday, November 26th, 2025, at the Fairmont Waterfront, Vancouver. This year’s Gala is proudly presented by Taseko Mines as our Feature Partner.

At the 2024 Mission Possible Gala, thanks to the incredible generosity of our partners and supporters, we soared past our $300,000 goal — raising an inspiring $336,144 for our Employment Readiness Program.

As our organization’s largest annual fundraiser, the Gala continues to be a cornerstone in supporting pathways to meaningful employment and lasting change for our community.

Each year, Gala guests gather to celebrate Mission Possible's achievements of the year, recognize past and present program participants, and thank donors and contributors. 

Event Highlights Include:

  • Momentum Award Presentations
  • Plated Three-Course Meal
  • Live Entertainment
  • Live Auction
  • Online Silent Auction
