Celebrate with your bestie and make a difference
By Sheila Tutty
Do you have a best friend? Could be your spouse, could be your sibling, could be your next door neighbour.
It is time to celebrate your good friends at the Best Friends’ Bash being held on Sunday, May 29 at the Black Forest Restaurant.
This is an event you don’t want to miss.
Fabulous three-course dinner, awesome items to bid on at our live and silent auction, and of course, an evening out with your besties await you.
So far, some of the items include: mountain bike rentals, lessons and a bike tour OR cross country ski lesson with rentals for eight people from Nipika; four-hour canoe or kayak rental from Columbia River Paddle Co.; accommodation packages from Copper Point Resort, High Country Properties and Turnkey Resorts; a biennial lease including full use of rec centre from Fairmont Villa Management; gourmet five-course meal for eight people, accompanied with wine courtesy of Christine and Rod Turnbull and Nan and Frank Jones; a Dion Phaneuf Flames jersey donated by David Dupont; Dave’s Hot Pepper Jelly; a certificate for goods or services from Max Helmer Contruction; golf passes, gift certificates for all sorts of services; with much more to come.
If you wish to donate an item or service to our auction, we would gratefully accept it.
The Best Friends’ Bash is a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS).
I have been asked many times over the years, if the money we raise stays in the valley.
Let me tell you that the Canadian Cancer Society provided $700,000 in financial aid to cancer patients in the Columbia Valley from 2010-2015. That is a lot of assistance to those in need.
And with our fundraising, we can choose what area we want the money to go, and I believe financial aid for those going through cancer is the best place.
So we need to raise funds to help those we love… family and best friends.
Tickets are $45/person or $80/couple and are available at Avenue in downtown Invermere or by contacting me at 250-342-5266 or [email protected].
Come on out and join us for a great time. See you there!
