On October 25, the Fort Garry Hotel hosted the 12th Annual Bear Essentials Fashion Show presented by Chown of the Children’s Hospital Guild of Manitoba in support of the Children’s Hospital Foundation. Over 400 guests were dazzled by gorgeous Holt Renfrew fashions chosen by PATRICIA, Personal Shopper and the beautifully decorated, Venetian-themed room by Floral Elements.
The audience was brought to tears by 2011 Champion Child Brittney Fox’s moving speech that highlighted her courage despite many health challenges.
The $30,000 raised from the event will help fund vital programs and equipment at Children’s Hospital and important pediatric research at the Manitoba Institute of Child Health.
