Cocktails For Cancer

Carnival Cocktails For Cancer is a fundraiser for the Alberta Cancer Foundation which was held last week, and the subject of a post never completed due to circumstances at work. But, better late than never and just looking at the photos and recollections of the evening puts a smile on my face. It was a fun evening, with some great people and some great businesses, all the while bringin up memories of a one of a kind lady. 

Organized by Jesse Willis of Proof and his beau, Laura Dunnigan, the event was a fundraiser put together in honour of Laura's stepmother, Jennifer Gardiner, or Jen Unplugged as she is affectionately known by many. Jen died recently of colorectal cancer and  was a real fighter to the end. She also wanted to raise awareness of the disease and bravely bared herself in a documentary that showed what's involved in dealing with this nastiness.

The swanky side of the Carnival :)

I was looking for Waldo.

The Green Fools helped create the mood

This was a cute carny styled bartender

These bartenders bared all at the Peep Show! haha1

Judging by the scar on her neck, this magician needs to work on his saw trick 

Proof didn't just act as host but also fired up their own signature cocktail!
