Honouring Marias Everywhere
This Annual B.C. Cancer Foundation fundraiser will take place Sunday November 27th at the Hellenic Community Centre. An event that has glittered and sparkled audiences returns to raise funds for all the family, friends, and loved ones that have been lost to cancer. Creator, Natalia Pardalis created the event in 2008 and continues in her fight to give back to the BC Cancer Foundation. "They help so many cancer patients, just recently I met a lady whose cancer painkillers were stolen but the BC Cancer Foundations replaced all of them at no cost. Maria's Opus was inspired by the loss of my mother and aunt to this horrible disease, but I am driven to continue creating Maria's Opus by watching too many people in our community fight cancer. We must fight to rid the world of this killer—cancer."
This year, the Maria's Opus team returns with a fusion of music, art, dance, and drama—this is a night you do not want to miss. Youth driven performances will take place under the attentive eyes of Natalia Pardalis, Johnny Kelto, and Angela Amici. This event promises to dazzle the audience. It will be a night to remember. When Natalia was asked what to expect, she answered with one word: "IMAGINE." Team Maria's Opus goal is to raise over $10 000 for the BC Cancer Foundation.Tickets are $20 and sold online by clicking the link at the top right menu.
