A party doesn’t get much classier than vodka martinis, live jazz and fine art. Although, it’s never a bad idea to throw in a photo booth for when the Ottawa Redblacks want to pile in for some goofy fun.
Six of the football team’s players, Greg Ellingson, Matt Albright, Justin Phillips, Moton Hopkins, Nigel Romick and Alex Pierzchalski, attended the 10th anniversary of the Martini Madness benefit for Crohn’s and Colitis Canada on Friday night, as did Ottawa Senators defenceman Marc Methot as honourary chair.
Methot came bearing gifts of a team-signed jersey and an Erik Karlsson-autographed hockey stick (it went to highest auction bidder Frank Bilodeau, district vice president at Scotiabank).
The $105-a-ticket benefit was held at Lago Bar/Grill/View at Dow’s Lake Pavilion and attracted several hundred partygoers. Co-chairing the organizing committee were Octagon hockey agent Andy Scott and Jon Beckman from CIBC Woody Gundy.
It’s a cause that hits home for Scott, who underwent the surgical removal of his colon in his 20s, while in law school, due to ulcerative colitis, a form of inflammatory bowel disease. It wasn’t a cure-all procedure. Colitis remains a chronic health problem that he tries to manage by watching what he eats and avoiding too much stress.
“I think everybody in the room has some sort of connection to Crohn’s and colitis,” said Scott of the diseases that affect one in 150 Canadians — a rate that ranks in the highest, worldwide.
Scott led everyone in a toast to celebrate the 10-year anniversary and the $300,000-plus the event has raised over the years for Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, a national volunteer-based charity focused on finding better treatments and cures. Local researchers and physicians in the room included CHEO docs Eric Benchimol and David Mack.
The evening showcased more than $8,000 worth of donated works by artists represented by Santini Gallery on Preston Street. Its dealer, Lauryn Santini, is on the organizing committee while law firm Kelly Santini, of which her father, Pat Santini, is a partner, was a returning sponsor. Later in the evening, the party continued upstairs with a live DJ and charity gaming.
