The Fourth Annual Dining for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Dinner is set to take place on Saturday, May 4. The event is held to create awareness around Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and to raise funds for Muscular Dystrophy Canada.

The event is hosted by long time Pemberton resident Alexander McCormack along with his family and friends. Alexander is particularly dedicated to this cause as he himself is a young man who lives with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Alexander just turned 30 years old which is a milestone for a person with this diagnosis!

This year's event will include a dinner and silent auction at Riverlands Red Barn. Tickets for the event are available for $50 or two for $90 and can be purchased at Pemberton Valley Chainsaw and Westland Insurance.

For more information on this event, or if you are a local business that would like to donate to the Silent Auction please contact Susie McCormack 604-966-8468 or Tanya Niet 604-894-6480.
