The William Vince Foundation - First Annual Fundraiser
We would like to thank all the attendees, sponsors and volunteers that made the First Annual William Vince Foundation fundraiser a fantastic evening of celebration and entertainment.
From the soulful opening tunes of of Cody Carey and Classical Nouveaux, to the video presentations, to the guest speakers, to the amazing, dance floor filling performance by Colin James and his band, the evening was filled with the positive energy that Bill Vince loved to bring to everything he undertook.
Honouring Bill's legacy of helping people help themselves, funds raised will help Intersections Media continue their filmmaking skills development programs for at-risk youth in Vancouver.
We look forward to seeing you all again next year and thank you again for your participation and support.
