They came, they Sparkled! Starlight Children Foundation’s 4th annual signature fundraising evening was another great success! On November 15th, 2008, 300 guests attended Vancouver’s hottest boutique-style auto showroom, Trunk Gallery, where they enjoyed the sensational sounds of local jazz favourite Lesismore and checked out the hottest fashions from JC Studio and Dunhill London at a fabulous fashion show hosted by Vladimir Markovich of BC Fashion Week. After the show, guests danced the night away…all while helping raise money for programs and events that help brighten the lives of seriously ill children and their families in BC.

Sparkle guests hang out with the 2009 Starlight bear, Fuzzy Thomas. Starlight Board Member Amin Mavani, Great Escapes Coordinator Debbie Bielech, Starlight youth Nakita Sekhon and Board Member Diane Hart

Guests were sparkling and shining all night! MC Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson, Michelle Bielech and Great Escapes Coordinator Debbie Bielech
