This year's Evening of Pink will focus on a positive future in health care for residents in Northern B.C.

The fifth annual dinner and dance Sept. 19 is designed to raise funds to equip an operating room to train future physicians earning medical degrees in the Northern Medical Program.

Monica Peacock, event organizer, said "Although we can't raise enough money to fully equip an operating room, we can raise enough to purchase lights and live video camera equipment to link a UNBC lecture room and a hospital training room.

"This will allow for more training to those new professionals who will better serve the people of the North," said Peacock who would like to raise in excess of $50,000 for the purchases through the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation.

"The equipment will be the start to set up an operating room at the hospital for the BC Cancer Agency Centre for the North we'll be receiving in 2012," she said.

Tickets to the Evening of Pink at the Civic Centre are $65 and available now by calling Peacock at 250-552-4114 or 250-596-7465. Music is by country artist Rick Stavely.

The $6,500-door prize is an air trip for two anywhere in North America by Uniglobe Sunburst Travel and Ken Goss of Re/Max. Guest speaker is Pamela Martin, CTV news anchor, who has worked for many years to raise money and promote campaigns for the Canadian Cancer Society.
