The annual Owen Hart Foundation fundraiser has seen comic greats the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Howie Mandel, Bob Newhart, Robin Williams, David Steinberg, Steve Martin and Martin Short, to name but a few, take to the stage much to the delight of audiences for the past 15 years. And this year, the foundation’s 16th anniversary, featured comedian and late night host Seth Meyers.
The foundation’s 16-years of compassionate charitable service and commitment to helping those with limited resources but unlimited potential has been nothing short of astounding.
The mandate of the Owen Hart Foundation is education and as such has provided invaluable funds for a variety of social programs-specifically scholarship and housing programs which assist low-income individuals. Foundation founder, Dr. Martha Hart should be proud indeed.
More than 2,000 guests jammed the Jube for An Evening with Seth Meyers. And in a stunning display of paying it forward, more than 400 tickets to the event were donated to the Canadian Legacy Project which supports veterans with programming and financial assistance. It’s not surprising then that there is a feature film documentary being made by Lemonade pictures based on Owen Hart and the Owen Hart Foundation.
Guests in attendance this night included: Oje and Athena Hart; Miss Canada Petite Norella King; Jacqueline Howard, volunteer director, Canadian Legacy Project; Sundance Energy’s Jeff Standen and his wife Colleen Standen, Owen Hart Foundation; Dr. Nicole Letourneau of the University of Calgary and her husband Dean Mullin, Stantec vice- president; Kavita and Ashid Bahl of For the Love of Children Society; ConocoPhillips’ Barb Simic; Dr. Brian Killick of Dentrix Dental Care; Tammi Christopher; LAR Business Concepts’ Linna Morgan; event producers Dave Howard and Kaitlin Knoll; Lemonade Pictures Canada’s Chandra Schatz and Geoff Plewes; and Virginia Xavier of the Owen Hart Foundation.
