Former Canucks superstar goalie “King” Richard Brodeur was the headliner last week at the first annual Tee Off Fore Breast Cancer tournament at Meadow Gardens. Pink balloon archways, and a live Elvis impersonator, greeted all the North Shore golfers who made the trip east to play in support of this worthwhile cause. Organizers did a fantastic job supplying goodies and beverages at every hole and the fun didn’t stop there. A fabulous dinner, live and silent auction prizes and live entertainment ensured everyone went home feeling like a winner – despite that demoralizing 18th water hole – WOW!

04 – West Vancouver’s John Jennings and his wife are big supporters of the cause as John is also chairman of the BC Cancer Foundation.

07 – Haneef and Karim Virani, of West Vancouver’s Virani Real Estate – are among the VIP supporters.

08 – Tournament director Don Decotiis, second from left, always gives so generously and can be counted on to put together a winning team every time. Congrats.
