The 5th Annual A4K (Athletics for Kids) Gala Fundraising Dinner took place last Friday at Hollyburn Country Club. The sold out, black tie event featured a martini reception, live and silent auctions and five rounds of live sanctioned boxing featuring some of Canada's best amateur boxers. Close to $100,000 was raised which now goes to support needy kids who couldn't otherwise afford to participate in the sports of their choice. Congrats to all involved.
