David Foster and Friends Charity Gala Events at Vancouver's River Rock Casino and Feenie's restaurant

Sep 8, 9, 10, 2006

By Catherine Barr

 

B.C. born composer/performer David Foster and an entourage of his famous friends descended on Vancouver last weekend for the 20th Anniversary celebration of his David Foster and Friends Charity Gala. Held for the second year in a row at the River Rock Casino in Richmond, the weekend's festivities also included an intimate VIP Dinner on Friday night at Rob Feenie's Lumiere and a Saturday night star search contest which was won by Vancouver's own Che Aimee Dorval. The foundation raises funds "to provide financial and emotional support to families of BC children who are in need of life-saving organ transplants."

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.
