Fairchild Television has named BC Cancer Foundation as the beneficiary of the Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant Gala Dinner this year.
Today, the 10 gorgeous finalists attended the MCVP 2018 Gala Dinner press conference held by the Foundation at Aberdeen Centre to appeal to the audiences to come together and offer a helping hand. In addition, they also shared stories of their “shining stars” who have battled cancer or stayed strong in adversity. The contestants intended to utilize this platform to fund for the surface-Guided Radiation Therapy, which helps to improve patient comfort, reduce exposure to radiation and minimize the harm done to healthy cells surrounding the tumour.
As a token of appreciation for Fairchild Television, BC Cancer Foundation President and CEO, Sarah Roth presented to the President of Fairchild Media Group, Mr. George Lee and the ten finalists a Thank You plaque and wished everybody a successful event on December 4. At their very first official public appearance, the venue was jam-packed with supporters and filled with flashes and shutter noises as fans were capturing snapshots of the 10 stunning ladies.

With less than one month to go before the 10 contestants step onto the Final stage, they have been practicing nonstop to outperform the rest at the ultimate challenge. Their predecessors MCVP 2018 Champion Alice Lin, 1st Runner-up May Li and 2nd Runner-up Rachel He were invited to share some tips on how to excel at the Final with the girls. Alice suggested putting more effort in their talents because it is the only time where they can fully manifest their true self. In terms of meeting with the judges, May advised them not to be overly nervous and treat it more like conversing with friends. They can take this opportunity to present a unique and memorable version of themselves. Rachel’s tip was to practice smiling comfortably and naturally because the contestants have to keep their smile on for the entire duration of the show!
Other than chatting with their 3 pageant sisters, the finalists coincidentally met 2015 Miss Hong Kong Champion Louisa Mak while she was in Vancouver shooting for Young and Restless. A snapshot together was a must in order to remember this special moment. As somebody who went on a similar path, Louisa wished them all the best on show day as well.
Every year Fairchild TV donates the production of Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant to a different charity organization as its entertainment for a fund-raising gala and this year, BC Cancer Foundation is named the beneficiary.
The Foundation recently invited the 10 contestants for a tour at BC Cancer Agency to learn more about the services cancer patients need and treatment methods. The charity gala is focused on fundraising to purchase surface-Guided Radiation Therapy, which helps to improve patient comfort, reduce exposure to radiation and minimize the harm done to healthy cells surrounding the tumour. In some cases, in order to successfully undergo radiation therapy, some youth cancer patients have to be injected with sedative drugs. The new machine has a device which secures the patient into place and therefore minimizes side effects from drug intake and increases chances of recovery.
The finalists then continued their tour while professionals explained the details of different facilities. Lastly, the staff wrapped up the seminar with insights on BC Cancer Foundation’s mission and goal.
This inspiring tour has not only widened the finalists’ horizon but has also motivated them to work extra hard at the Final for a good cause.
