On Thursday, October 22nd, Big Sisters of BC Lower Mainland hosted a glamourous - and fun! - evening that had our 220 guests dancing by the end of the night! The 2009 Big Sisters Divas Gala was held at the Pan Pacific Hotel and emceed by Global BC's Steve Darling and QM/FM's Arran Henn.  Guests were greeted with a glass of champagne as they started 'shopping' in  the silent auction, followed by a three-course dinner, more shopping in the live auction, an emotional testimonial and accapella version of 'Because You Loved Me' by Little Sisters Steffanie, topped off by energetic entertainment by the Vandivas that had many up on their feet! Over $120,000 was raised at this year's Gala, which will help us to match 60 Little Sisters with a caring mentor. Huge thanks to our sponsors, guests, donors, volunteers, and Divas Gala Chair, Sarah McNeill, for their fantastic support of this important event for Big Sisters!
