Celebs for Kids Arthritis and Lupus Awareness

Jun 6, 2008

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.

 

Imagine if everyone you knew gave one dollar to save a child's life. Sounds simple, but for North Van's Chandani family, that dollar is worth millions. Celebs for Kids (celebsforkids.ca) is out to do just that to help kids suffering from Lupus and Arthritis. Little is known about this devastating disease which knows no age limit, but thanks to the Chandani's, and an impressive group of celebs and volunteers, the awareness is growing. Last Friday, at the Sutton Place Hotel, sponsors and VIPs were honoured for their contributions as everyone geared up for the big Celebs for Kids golf and poker tournament in August. Look for the likes of stars like Matt Damon, Kevin Sorbo and various NHL players to make a special appearance. Go to <www.celebsforkids.ca> for more info.

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.
