Diamond Ball Event Information

The 14th Annual Diamond Ball

When?

Saturday April 10, 2010

Where?

The Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

What?

The Diamond Ball is one of the Canadian Cancer Society's signature fundraising events. This stunning themed black-tie dinner, dance and auction has become a leading date in Vancouver's social diaries and always sells out fast.

Bienvenidos a España! Guests will enjoy a seductive evening in Spain at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. Vibrant colours will light up the ballroom, while guests are entertained by dramatic flamenco dancing and music as they savour Spanish inspired cuisine. Olé!

2010 will mark the fourteenth anniversary of this glamorous event, which has raised more than $5.5 million dollars since it began in 1997. The 2009 Diamond Ball raised almost $500,000 and with your help, our aim is to surpass that figure in 2010.

Who?

As one of Vancouver's most high-profile events, the Diamond Ball attracts over 500 guests - affluent business and community leaders, primarily within the 35 to 60 age range.

The 2010 Diamond Ball will be organized by a Core Committee of dedicated volunteers, led by Alexa Ulinder Baughen and Greg Zayadi, and supported by an Advisory Council of business and community leaders and prominent philanthropists, led by Bill and Jana Maclagan.

Why?

Two in five Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime.

Each of us has had cancer touch our life. Whether it affects you personally, a family member, a loved one or a friend, it is a devastating disease that we must eradicate.

The Canadian Cancer Society is the nationally respected and trusted voice on all cancer issues. We fund the most research, support the most people and fight to prevent all types of cancer.

Your support of the Diamond Ball makes a real difference. Funds raised through this Gala help the Canadian Cancer Society fund the best cancer research across Canada and in BC, reduce the incidence of cancer through action-oriented prevention strategies, and support cancer patients and their families as they cope with the unexpected emotional, practical and financial stress of cancer. The Canadian Cancer Society is a trusted source of information and works on behalf of Canadians to try to influence decision-makers at all levels of government to create healthier environments where people work, live, and play.

As a leader in funding cancer research, prevention, patient services and advocacy, the Canadian Cancer Society relies on the generosity of donors to achieve its vision of a world where no one fears cancer.
