Fashioning a Cure: A Gala Evening in Memory of Danielle Caterina |
|
The fourth annual Fashioning a Cure Gala is being held at the Harmony Creek Event Centre on Saturday, May 7, 2016. This year the event will be a party to remember from the roaring twenties!
We are excited to welcome back a number of our sponsors and partners, as well as our favourite emcee, Johnny Soln!
Guests will enjoy a gourmet three-course meal from Pelican Catering, the opportunity to bid on some fabulous items in a silent auction, and an evening of dancing and fun. It will celebrate and remember Danielle Caterina - a talented young woman who lost her battle with Cystic Fibrosis in 2008. All proceeds will go to Cystic Fibrosis in the hope that one day 'CF' will stand for 'Cure Found.'

What is Cystic Fibrosis?
Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease that mainly affects the lungs and the digestive system. One in every 3,600 children born in Canada has Cystic Fibrosis, and one in 25 Canadians carry the gene responsible.
There is no known cure, and it estimated that in Canada, one person dies from the disease each week. In 2010, over half of the 40 patients that lost their battles with the disease were under the age of 26.
