Diamond Ball

EVERY table was decorated with a sparkling Eiffel Tower centerpiece as the Canadian Cancer Society (BC and Yukon Division) held its Sixth Annual Diamond Ball on Saturday April 20th at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. "An Evening in Paris" was the theme as guests donned their black ties and ball gowns to support this very worthwhile cause. Tickets were $275 each, but even that is a small price to pay to help fight against one of the most deadly diseases of our times. Thanks to the many volunteers and organizers, this event goes a long way to helping "make cancer history".
