65 Roses Gala a Huge Success
February 21, 2011 - the 65 Roses Gala is the highlight event of the year when Advocis Ottawa and it’s partners, sponsors, community leaders, volunteers and donors, all come together with one goal in mind – to breathe life into the future of young Canadians battling cystic fibrosis. The event is held annually each February.
For complete information, visit: www.senators65roses.com. Together, we were part of the efforts that raised $185,000 in support of health research and care towards finding a cure or control for cystic fibrosis.
