A beautiful girl with chocolate brown eyes, a disarming smile and a tenacious spirit was on this earth for just under nine years. Faith’s was a short, impactful life – inspiring her family, friends and community to be a part of a quest to bring lasting meaning to it.

The Faith Tilk Memorial Fund has been established, through the London Community Foundation, to make meaningful grants to children’s causes within the London community. 

Faith's Gift Gala Raises $64,000

October 26th was a very special night. While a soft rain fell outside the FireRock Golf Club, attendees of the sold out "Faith's Gift Pink Tie Gala & Silent Auction" were working their magic inside to support the Faith Tilk Memorial Fund. Over the course of the evening, $64,000 was raised through the generosity of the 200+ people at the event, and the many donators and sponsors of the festivities.

The evenings highlights included the spell-binding acrobatics of Cirque Sublime, who introduced a new performer to the troop - Peter Jordan, decked out in pink leotards and flaunting his gymnastic prowess. The live auction, led by professional auctioneer, Jim McKenzie, added plenty of excitement to night – and plenty of money to the cause:
