Rugby Canada Fundraiser at Red Lion

Aug 7, 2007

By Catherine "Cat" Barr

The North Shore Outlook is delivered to over 60,000 homes in Canada's wealthiest communities, North Vancouver and West Vancouver, every Thursday - over 60,000 issues in print.

Gren Thomas is no "dummy". The owner of West Vancouver's Red Lion in Dundarave, is known for his generosity, but last week even he outdid himself. Gren donated the restaurant, food, drink and more to the Canadian's National Senior Men's Rugby team for The Dog River Howlers Fundraiser and the team's sixth upcoming trip to the World Cup. Close to $145,000 was raised (the single largest rugby fundraiser in history) to send the boys to France where they'll "maul" their way through "grubbers" and "hookers" and onto victory.

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.
