Langley – For the first time ever, the TWU Spartan Foundation’s 16th Annual Complete Champions Reception, presented by Five Peaks Capital, raised $1 Million for Trinity Western University Spartan student-athletes.
The event, which was on November 22, featured guest speakers Lucas VanBerkel, who is an alum of TWU’s men’s volleyball program, and Holly (Strom) VanBerkel, who is an alum of TWU’s women’s basketball program. Trinity Western men’s rugby star Matthew Willemse, who hails from South Africa, also shared about his journey to TWU, his faith story and his experience as a Spartan.
