Fun with Friends - 2008 Gala Photos
Saturday, March 15, 2008, Showplace Performance Centre

On Saturday, March 15, an auditorium full of happy people laughed and had a great time in support of Friends of Honduran Children. We are grateful to everyone who helped to make this event such a great success! Your generosity means that poor children in Honduras will have a better life by improving their homes, education and healthcare. A special thank you to The Staffing Connection/Level A for their cash contribution.

CHEX Television ran ads promoting the event for seven weeks , and partner media companies the Wolf and 980 KRUZ had excellent promotion of the event. (see latest ad below)

The Peterborough Examiner, another media sponsor, ran our ads, and gave us great coverage. See some articles below.
