Love the cause. Hated the movie. Were I a film critic, such would be my review of the recent private screening of Zoolander No. 2 in support of Providence Children’s Centre. Providence operate six preschools across the city that offer educational and therapeutic services to children with disabilities aged 19 months to 6 years. In addition, Providence offers early assessment and treatment services to young children through partnerships with childcare facilities and independent schools across the city.
A select group of philanthropically-minded souls paid $20 each and gathered Feb 24 at the Westhills Cineplex to strut their stuff on the red carpet and show their support for Providence. That the event was hosted by Black Hills Estate Winery added to the evening’s cache as guests gathered post movie at National to compare notes and sip a glass or two of Black Hills’ divine nectar.
Among those in attendance this night were: Black Hills president Glenn Fawcett and his wife Kym Fawcett (and here, I must salute the Fawcett’s on donating a selection of Black Hills wine from their own personal collection for raffle this night); Providence’s Neil Sandstrom, Diane DeHekker, Maureen O’Connor, Shelley Diederichs and her daughter Lauren Diederichs; Black Hills investor Vince Walker doing his best Mugatu impersonation; East Kootney Land Corporation’s Otis Regatoni and Shelagh Cherak; and Brian and Heather Fenske.
Heather and Brian Fenske were among guests in attendance at the private screening of Zoolander 2 Feb 24 at Westhills. The event, hosted by Black Hills Estate Winery, raised funds for Providence- a therapeutic and educational preschool for children with disabilities.
