4th Annual Reliving Old Hollywood Gala

Spend an evening surrounded by the timeless glamour of Old Hollywood on Saturday April 14th, 2012 at the fourth annual Reliving Old Hollywood Gala in support of Ovarian Cancer Canada.

Your evening begins with star treatment as you stroll down the red carpet towards an exceptional evening of Old Hollywood glamour complete with champagne, gourmet hors d'oeuvres, mingling and dancing to live band music. Take a moment to pose for the photographers at the Casablanca photo booth ("Here's looking at you, Kid"), and treat yourself to something special from fabulous silent and live auctions.  "Ovarian cancer is the most fatal woman's cancer and it is rarely diagnosed in the early stages. Through a random ultrasound at 33 years old, my tumour was caught early. I didn't go through the traumatic rounds of chemotherapy or radiation that other women endure, so I count myself very lucky," says Nancy, "Ovarian cancer does not get the attention or the health care funding it deserves." We are proud to announce that 100% of Reliving Old Hollywood Gala ticket sales go to Ovarian Cancer Canada to fund research.  Tickets are on-sale now through Captialtickets

INFO 6:00pm, at Royal Ottawa Golf Club
