I will be volunteering at the 4th Annual Shine a Light Kidney Gala which takes place on March 3rd, 2016 at The Fairmont Vancouver Hotel. This event raises awareness of kidney disease for the work and mission of The Kidney Foundation of Canada and the Canadian Society of Nephrology.
Last year’s Gala, hosted and covered by CTV, was successful thanks to the generous donors that helped raise over $180,000! These funds support world-class research for those living with this serious disease which affects 1 in 10 Canadians.
A highlight of last year’s event was the Wine & Spirit Wall which sold out in one hour! Guests had the opportunity to purchase a randomly numbered cork that matched a specific bottle of wine out of the approximately 100 bottles on display. Due to last year’s overwhelming success, the Wine & Spirit Wall will be featured again, but this time showing off our wonderful BC VQA wines. I will be volunteering at the Gala’s Wine & Spirit Wall, providing my expertise and knowledge to the distinguished guests as they inquire about our BC wines. I love to talk about BC wines, sharing my experience in getting the most enjoyment out of the wines.
