Pink Chair~ity Gala Fundraiser

From all accounts, our Pink Chair~ity Gala Fundraiser in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation was a resounding success. We don’t have final numbers yet, but we are pleased to report that we exceeded our goal of $40,000.00. Two Royal Canadian Mounted Police dressed in Red Serge greeted guests as they walked the “pink carpet”. The Victoria Fire Department had their “Pinked Up” fire truck and four members on site for the evening.
