The Burnaby Neighbourhood House Diamond Ball drew a packed crowd and raised $40,000 for local programs.
The annual fundraiser took place Saturday, Feb. 27 at the firefighters banquet hall.
“It was an awesome event, and what was really great is the business support we had there, and the attendance from mayor and council and school trustees, and all of our MLAs, and the MPs were there,” said Antonia Beck, executive director of the neighbourhood house. “That means a lot to me.”
Tickets were sold out. Money raised will go towards Neighbourhood House programs.
