Home Depot West Vancouver Gala with Jann Arden

Sep 25, 2004

By Catherine Barr

 

The new village at Park Royal mall is holding a series of wonderful grand openings this month, but none can top the Home Depot's "Inspire to Dream" gala night. The $300 per person fundraiser honoured athlete Rick Hansen and his work and featured a private, intimate concert with Jann Arden. A silent auction, which featured, large screen tv's, a $5,000 Home Depot decorator consultation and a brand new car, helped raise money for this very worthwhile cause. The store's public grand opening is today.
