Best Banting Evening 2010 - Celebrate, Savour, Explore…
Winnipeg, MB
For the second year, the Canadian Diabetes Association, Manitoba & Nunavut Region, will be hosting a special fundraising evening in support of diabetes research and education - the Best Banting Evening 2010 (Celebrate. Savour. Explore) will take place on November 12, 2010.
With awareness and fundraising for diabetes education and research in mind, the Best Banting Evening – so named to honour the co-discoverers of insulin, Dr. Charles Best and Sir Frederick Banting – is an opportunity for the community to come together in support of an important cause. In Manitoba alone, more than 76,000 people live with diabetes; another 23,000 are undiagnosed. Diabetes causes serious, life-threatening complications, and our province ranks among those with the highest rates of type 2 diabetes in Canada.
Hosted in the heart of Winnipeg’s Exchange District, in the street level gallery of Red River College’s Princess Street campus, the Best Banting Evening will be a “casually elegant” (and fun) gathering for 200 guests. It will feature fine international food and wine selections guided by culinary experts at various stations, within a free-flowing ambience. We anticipate an unforgettable event, with a number of opportunities for visibility and networking as we promote our message to the Manitoba community.
