Ladies Media Golf

May 19, 2004

By Catherine Barr

 

Raising money for handicapped and challenged children is all part of the incentive behind Wendy Cocchia's Ladies Media Golf Tournament. The West Van owner of Absolute Spas and Century Plaza Hotel fame brought back the tournament after a one-year hiatus with great success. The after-golf antics included a buffet dinner, live and silent auction, star-studded fashion show and a comedy improv show. But there wasn't a dry eye in the house as Wendy and her crew presented three groups of kids with different "dream-come-true" gifts ranging from computers to trips to Disneyland. Congratulations ladies, see ya next year.
