Kelowna civic award nominees sought
Alex Vandale, Tyson Code and Alex Thompson were just three of the bananas roaming around Kelowna on Saturday for a good cause. They’re part of the Family Photos Fundraising organization, which focuses on hosting events for average 20 somethings who “just wants to have fun.” Men involved fundraise for prostate cancer research, and women fundraise for cervical cancer research. Proceeds from all events are donated to the BC Cancer Foundation, but stay local to the Kelowna area. In the last two years, the BC Cancer Foundation has raised over $50,000. Helping get the group to the point was a donation for $14,500.
