Success by Six Canucks Fundraiser

January 1, 2004

By Catherine Barr

 

"Success By 6" is a United Way initiative dedicated to giving children ages 0 - 6 years the foundation they need to get a good start in life and reach full potential. It's a program that many North Shore people believe in and invest their time in supporting. Such is the case with this group who, led by the original Esso tiger himself (businessman Karim Chandani), got together last month to fundraise and celebrate the season in a private Canucks' hockey suite. A great start to a New Year.

NV Chamber's businessman of the year and then some.
A delayed return trip from Dubais prevented host Karim Chandani from attending, but his effforts in fundraising for this event should not be overlooked.
