Dragon Ball is the largest Chinese New Year celebration of its kind in North America and it is Yee Hong’s annual signature fundraising event. Since 1998, the event has averaged $1 million net in funds raised each year. The proceeds go towards Yee Hong’s programs and services for 15,000 seniors and their families across the GTA.

Dragon Ball is known for its exquisite cuisine, lavish entertainment and auction. The success of this event is attributed to the generous support of the corporate community and the significant involvement of volunteers. Each year, more than 300 volunteers play a variety of roles – serving on the organizing committee, soliciting sponsors and auction donors, selling tables and raffle tickets, and looking after the operation on event night. Volunteer involvement is a key reason why Dragon Ball is able to maintain a relatively low expense to revenue ratio, at about 30%.

In its 21st year, the 2010 gala will welcome the Year of the Tiger and is expected to attract 1,200 patrons.
