What’s black and red, and green all over? The Spanish-themed “Viva la pasion!” Canadian Tire Snowsuit Fund Gala, and anybody who missed it Saturday night.
This year’s $250-a-ticket gala drew a crowd of about 350 to the historic Fairmont Château Laurier, where red roses not only adorned the hotel ballroom but also the elegant updos worn by ladies in black lace gowns. The purpose of the evening was to raise money for the Snowsuit Fund, an Ottawa-based charity that provides snowsuits to underprivileged children and youth.
Attendees included Ottawa Senators defenceman Chris Phillips and his wife, Erin Phillips, as honourary co-chairs. Dressed as a cloak-flinging matador was Carter Brown, but there was no bull when it came to his KISS FM morning show co-host, Sandra Plagakis, as they helped to MC the gala with Snowsuit Fund board chair Lianne Laing from CTV Morning Live.
The evening featured a Flamenco dance and guitar performance, a gourmet dinner prepared by the Château Laurier’s executive chef, Louis Simard, live and silent auction items, and late-night dancing to the Sway Band.
The purchase of raffle tickets for a pair of free WestJet flights came with a Spanish-styled hand fan. How convenient, should the winner faint with excitement.
