Calgary
Bow River's Gala Event
 It was a gala evening in Calgary on Friday, November
16th, 2001 when CPC Calgary Bow River once again hosted the Big Sisters
& Big Brothers Gala Auction. The 14th annual dinner and auction
event took place at the Westin Hotel where guests enjoyed a five-star
meal, mingled with local celebrities and participated in the silent and
live auctions to benefit Big Sisters & Big Brothers of Calgary &
Area. Master of Ceremonies, Calgary Global TV's Jim Hughes was given a
helping hand by enthusiastic presenters, Little Sister and Little
Brother of the Year, Heather and Travis. Sports memorabilia proved to be
this year's hottest auction items. The Bobby Orr collection, complete
with autographed jersey, and the rare, hand-signed photo of three hockey
greats in a classic outdoor scene received top bids. By the end of the
evening, the generosity of a record crowd helped raise more than $34,000
for Big Sisters & Big Brothers. Congratulations to co-chairs Todd
Berry and Randy Beaudoin and the members of the organizing committee for
putting together the most successful Gala Auction to date.
