Collingwood Fashion Show for Breast Cancer

April 15, 2004

By Catherine Barr

 

Close to 2 million North American women were diagnosed with breast cancer in the 1990s - over 500,000 of them died. Yet, while the numbers remain high, the chances of defeating this disease are getting better and better every year thanks to increased funding and awareness. In keeping with this thought, the students at Collingwood school decided to dedicate their recent spring fashion show to this very worthwhile cause. Held at Hollyburn Country Club on April 15, invited guests were treated to an evening of fashions as modelled by some of West Vancouver's most beautiful young men and women. Congratulations Collingwood students, you do us proud.
