Variety BC are set to honour longtime Variety members Bob and Barbara Stewart of Burnaby with its Gold Heart Award at the annual Gold Heart Gala to be held at the Fairmont Pacific Rim on Sept. 27.
Bob is a former chief of the Vancouver Police Department and served as Variety’s chief barker from 1994-96 and 2007-08. Barbara was Variety’s first woman chief barker and creative mastermind behind Variety’s successful Gold Pin program that was launched in 1991.
“We are extremely proud to be recognizing Bob and Barbara,” said Cally Wesson, Variety BC CEO. “They have both contributed to Variety in many ways through time, talent and treasure. Their passion for improving the lives of children is a global inspiration.”
The Gold Heart Award is Variety BC’s most prestigious mark of distinction, honouring individuals who have done transformational work in the community. The event will once again be chaired by television personality and producer, Mary Zilba.
In addition to the award presentation, the evening will also include live entertainment, a multi-course dinner and both a live and a silent auction. Sponsorship opportunities are available now. For more information, contact Meghan Bradner at 604-268-3889.
