Congratulations Alpha Kirabira and Christine Michelle for an evening full of positivity, achievement and top notch performances in Music, Art, Fashion and Community Building. The Little Black Dress Gala continues to be a well attended and well supported event to raise funds for Youth and Single Moms and programs and resources to help them achieve their dreams. Leadership, Mentorship and Scholarship are keys to success. Through Help Change My City (HCMC) mentors help students build self esteem, work towards career goals, make community contributions and make these practices life long. Single Moms are also provided with many resources and are invited (and supported) to attend the Gala at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. Our Emcees, first photo: Skye Natasha Hintotott and Justin, who we know from many previous Galas, kept the energy levels sky high, throughout the evening. When they introduced the YPOSBC, Young People's Opera Society of BC, we knew this would be a fabulous example of a skillful and inspiring group. And, it was! I especially enjoyed hearing "Maria" from "West Side Story", as it made me look for her in each dress. Another powerful performance came from a very young, Ethan Charles Smith, who played and sang with such confidence and charm. Dance Performances, from Karen Kobel, Dance Co. and Ahmed Dance Academy were extraordinary. On November 8th, when the song, "Celebration" was played, the whole ballroom got up and danced.
Congratulations everyone on the immense success of The Little Black Dress Gala! We saw a video of the tremendous work of schools and colleges preparing food for the homeless and we saw, Tanya Zambrano, Templeton Teacher and Justine Higgs of LaSalle College, Vancouver award a scholarship to a hardworking school community builder. Everyone working together! Tickets to see this amount of achievement, were sold out! The photos tell the story.
