Create a ripple, instigate change in the Whistler community

   
    On March 4th, 2010, the Community Foundation of Whistler will launch an inaugural fundraising event in support of the Kathy Barnett Memorial Fund.  The fund was created in 2008 in memory of Kathy Barnett, a former Whistler resident and CFOW Director.  Kathy was a strong, community-oriented woman who gave of herself for the betterment of others.  Together with her husband, Kathy co-founded the Pique Newsmagazine, a successful independent weekly newspaper. 

    The luncheon will feature a high profile keynote speaker who will address the topic of Women and Leadership, as well as profile women who have received grants from the endowment fund. The event will be held at the beautiful and majestic Fairmont Chateau Whistler and will be hosted by Chris Quinlin.  Attendees of the event will have the exciting opportunity to bid on one of a kind Whistler experiences with the company of influential and inspiringwomen and men as mentors for the day.  Through a celebration of Kathy’s legacy, the event will inspire local women and build ongoing financial support for the endowment fund.  

   This event has been made possible by the support of Pique Newsmagazine, the Whistler Chamber of Commerce, Long Run Productions, Vancouver Magazine, the Fairmont Chateau Whistler, the Women of Whistler as well as a dedicated volunteer event committee.
