It was a night to don yer kilt for a haggis-toasting, bagpipe-playing, whisky-swilling Robbie Burns Supper for Roger’s House, held at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club on Saturday.
Most of the sold-out crowd of 192 tarted up with tartan for the annual celebration of the life, works and spirit of the great Scottish poet, Robert Burns.
Radio personality Katfish Morgan from Live 88.5 was escorted into the dining room by the RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) Pipes and Drums band.
Organizer Michael Cox with radio personality Katfish Morgan from Live 88.5 and his empty whisky glass at the Robbie Burns Supper for Roger’s House held Saturday, January 24, 2015, at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club.
So was the platter of haggis — a traditional Scottish dish of questionable ingredients — before being prominently displayed on a clothed table. Gordon Gray did the honours with his lively theatrical Address to a Haggis.
Live 88.5 presented the benefit with The Scottish and Irish Store, owned by Michael Cox. He wore the Sens tartan that he launched in 2008 in support of Roger’s House, through the Ottawa Senators Foundation.
Clare Hutchinson and Brendan Cox came dressed for The Robbie Burns Supper for Roger’s House held at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club on Saturday, January 24, 2015.
The dinner, now in its 5th year, has accumulated more than $50,000 over the past four years for the pediatric respite and palliative care facility. Cox told Around Town that he’s been touched by some of the stories that Roger’s House families have shared with him about the centre, located on the grounds of CHEO.
The businessman has also been inspired by the commitment the Sens players have shown to the place, named after the team’s late assistant coach, Roger Neilson.
From Roger’s House was medical director Dr. Bill Splinter, along with former Roger’s House parents Ruth Hartanto and Thom Lyon. Hartanto is now the volunteer chair of their board.
There was also a performance from the Champagne School of Highland Dance, a live auction and, to cap everything off, the singing of Burns’ iconic Auld Lang Syne.
