Athletics for Kids (A4K) held their
3rd Annual Gala Fundraising Dinner last Thursday at West
Vancouver's Hollyburn Country Club. Local athletes and supporters
alike came dressed in their formal best for a four-star dinner
reception and auction. But the main event was the five rounds
of "live Olympic boxing" that took place in the centre ring
and included a sanctioned Super Heavyweight bout. Congrats
to all involved.
