2012 Gallery - Auction and Dinner

After a round of golf, we had a wonderful reception and dinner. Our live auction was a huge hit, with a vacation at a magnificent Paris flat, and trips to the Masters, Scotland and Hawaii all up for bids. Our silent auction was the scene of some serious deal-making and breaking (not an unusual pastime for this crowd).

Peter and Tom Volk were our MCs for the evening and the feature speaker, four-time Olympic medal winner Jennifer Botterill, impressed the crowd. The highlight of the evening was Wendy, Graham, Hannah and Ryan presenting a cheque in the amount of $125,000 to Right To Play. A fitting end to a wonderful day in honour of Bill.
