Steve Nash Carats Charity Classic diamond Event

Jul 20, 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.

 

NBA superstar Steve Nash and his famous friends were dripping in diamonds last week for a very good cause. "Carats - Diamonds at Sunset" was an exclusive VIP event held at the multi-million dollar West Vancouver home of Kyle and Janelle Washington, of Washington Marine Group fame. Held in conjunction with his Charity Classic basketball game, for $10,000 per couple, guests got to hobnob with Nash and a select group of Phoenix Suns players and be entertained by big names like David Foster and Colin James. But the big game started later when, alongside celebrity poker stars, guests took to the tables for a chance to win a 2.07 carat, 19K white gold piece signed and dated by Nash.
