The 11th Annual Diamond Ball at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver: Saturday, April 14
A signature fundraising event of the Canadian Cancer Society, B.C. and Yukon Division, this themed, black-tie, gala dinner, dance and auction has become a leading date in Vancouver’s social diaries and always sells out fast. The theme of this year’s Gala, ‘I Love the Nightlife’, involves a return to the fun of the 1970s and the era of Disco. Guests are encouraged to dress up and enjoy a memorable evening of theme-inspired décor, music and fine dining. For tickets and information, visit www.diamondball.com or call 604.215.5470.
5th Annual Candlelight Ball at Sutton Place Hotel: Saturday, March 31, 6:30 p.m.
The Women in Insurance Cancer Crusade of British Columbia (WICC BC) is holding its annual ball. WICC BC is the fundraising arm of the insurance industry, and 100% of the proceeds from this event will be donated directly to the Canadian Cancer Society to assist the fight against cancer by focusing on cancer research, support and education in B.C. Through this event and other fundraising activities, WICC BC hopes to attain its goal of donating a total of $500,000 by the end of 2007, after only five years in existence. If you would like to attend this event or if you can donate silent auction items to assist the WICC BC in their goal, please contact John Dickinson at 604.982.4380, john.dickinson@icbc.com, or Kathy Cebula at 604.982.7205, kathy.cebula@icbc.com.
