hullelujah 2012 On December 13, 2012, more than 300 guests celebrated the magic of Christmas at Hull Services’ annual fundraising event, Hullelujah. This festive and elegant evening raised nearly $370,000 in support of the kids and families with Hull Services. Special guest star George Canyon and his talented band presented an energetic show that had everyone singing along. Myja, a former youth from Hull, brought the audience to tears with an emotional performance of her original song called “Choices.” The Calgary Petroleum Club provided the perfect ambience and cuisine and this year’s gala commemorated Hull Services’ 50th anniversary. In honour of this milestone and Hull’s founder, William Roper Hull, the inaugural William Roper Hull Community Leadership Award was presented to Charlie Fischer for his outstanding leadership, entrepreneurial spirit, social vision and philanthropy.
