A Champion of HOPE
Brian Jessel may be known for his luxury car dealerships, but he is also known for throwing some of Vancouver’s best charity parties. This year, the Brian Jessel BMW Cabriolet Gala raised $65,000 for charity and we
were honoured to be the 2014 beneficiary.
High fashion took centre stage as designer Gianni Maanaki showed off his spectacular haute couture line and a tribute dress he designed for the unveiling of the new BMW i8 car which was a showstopper on its own.
We thank Brian Jessel (L) and his team at Brian Jessel BMW, led by Diana
Zoppa, Jim Murray, Shawn McLaughlin and Susanna Stewart, for hosting an evening
of HOPE. Click here to view photos.

Inspired to Give Back ...
We thank 17-year old Andrew Machum's for making a difference by donating the proceeds from his new single 'Spinning" during the month of May to Pancreatic Cancer Canada.
Andrew contacted us and told us that the father of one of his closest friends recently died of pancreatic cancer and he wanted to do something to make a difference in the fight against this deadly disease. The single he released is about the friend who's father passed away.

You are never to young to raise awareness ...
The fight against pancreatic cancer inspired both Alex (left), who lost her 40 year old aunt and Noa (right), who lost her grandmother, to educate their classmates about this devastating disease.
The girls did an amazing job as they shared their stories, spoke about the facts of pancreatic cancer, made colourful and educational posters and asked students to help raise awareness.
Their heartfelt stories, no doubt, taught an inspiring lesson to their peers that will long be remembered. Noa and Alex ... you are amazing ambassadors for our cause!
