The couple selected Her International, the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society, and WIN House Edmonton.
The event sold 135 tickets in 91大黄鸭, West 91大黄鸭, Vernon and Edmonton. According to the couple, this is the most successful wine and pie fundraiser they鈥檝e had to date, despite the difficult year brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

鈥淲e are beyond thrilled with the results from our wine and pie fundraiser this year,鈥� the couple said.
鈥淲ith COVID limited what we can do in person, we pivoted to this live stream theme鈥� many friends and colleagues stepped up and helped us raise $37,000 for three very worthy causes.鈥�
The fundraiser also featured a silent auction and live auction.
