"With Brian and Glen both taking time from their busy schedules to participate in this gala, the event is sure to be a success," says Chilliwack Rotary Committee Chair Bill Coombes. "The Bruins have become such a great part of our community and this is just another way that the team gives back." Bruins President Darryl Porter added "we are happy to again team up with the Chilliwack Rotary Club as the proceeds will go to two excellent causes. I am also appreciative that my partners have found time to once again show their commitment to both our hockey club but also to our community."

Tickets for this spectacular event are $125, with proceeds benefiting the Chilliwack Bruins Education Fund and Rotary Community Projects. A limited number of individual tickets will be made available through the office of the Chilliwack Progress.
