Vancouver Ladies' Media Golf Tournament for Variety Club

May 25, 2005

By Catherine Barr

 

Every year, West Vancouver's Wendy Cocchia plans one of the city's best fundraisers. Her annual Ladies' Media Golf tournament is one that brings both laughter and smiles to needy children by making dreams come true. This year the gals awarded a young lady with her own laptop learning computer and also sent another family, with three learning-challenged children, to Disneyland. This year's banquet also featured a performance by platinum Canadian recording artists The Nylons.

Vancouver's best events and celebrity functions are all archived here. Vancouver pubs, clubs, nightclubs, gala events and fundraisers are included. Thanks for viewing.

Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.

If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks.
