West Vancouver Firefighters Car Wash for Kids

May 26, 2007

By Catherine Barr

 

For close to two decades now, the West Vancouver firefighters have been scrubbing and hosing down cars to help raise funds for B.C. Children's Hospital. Last weekend, The 19th Annual Car Wash for Kids added another $10,000 to the pot as 462 vehicles came by for a shine. Because when you're a local hero, saving lives is much more than just part of the job.

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.

Sometimes captains just have to sit back and supervise like Bob Allan and Randy Heath - wink wink.
