Joe Fortes Patio Party and BC Professional Fire Fighters' Burn Fund

May 24, 2006

By Catherine Barr

 

Joe Fortes restaurant's annual Summer Roof Garden Launch Party is something to look forward to for two reasons. One, it helps mark the start of patio season and two, it helps raise money for a very good cause. The BC Professional Firefighters Burn Fund was given $10,000 by Fortes' owner Bud Kanke who took the opportunity to also announce an ongoing fundraising initiative involving the sale of co-branded hats, shirts and other items that will go to support the charity.

Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.

If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks.
