Hi Friends,
Months of planning
went into this event, held on May 3rd, 2008. Party For The Cure was created
to raise funds in order to purchase
2 hospital beds in honour of Dangerous Jim Turley and Joie Hinton. Thanks to
Jim's wife Kathy for all her hard work. Thanks also
to the many volunteers who made Party For The Cure such a fun and successful
evening. We raised over $18,000 for The Alberta
Cancer Foundation on this night. Thanks also to Bill Cowen for M-Cing the night
and taking these great photos. Thanks to BBQ Acres
for their outstanding support and excellent food. Update
Feb 2011: Over $32,000 has now been raised to date.

You can see how many people there were. This is only one little angle. There was barely enough food. |
