In Honour Of The Ones We Love 25th Anniversary Spectacular
On Saturday February 4, 2023 over 900 guests celebrated the achievements of In Honour Of The Ones We Love, a grassroots Windsor charitable organization dedicated to helping patients suffering from cancer, other life threatening illness and special needs.
“Thank you to all our sponsors and major participants in making In Honour of the Ones We Love an integral part of Windsor/Essex County. The loyalty and love of our volunteers, families and friends have contributed to our 65 accomplishments throughout the past years; all benefitting our patients and families.”
Anita Imperioli, President and Founder
The gala theme — An Evening On The Isle of Capri — came to life inside The Ciociaro Club by the one and only Diane Spencler Glover of Designs by Diane.
Guests enjoyed hors d’oeuvres by Chef Mimmo of Koolini Italian Eatery, champagne, a fabulous dinner, followed by dessert, coffee and selections from an ice cream cart provided by Sottozero Catering.
During the event In Honour’s signature Candle Lighting ceremony honoured Sarah Yott, Robert Scussolin, Anastasia Thoms, Angelo Joseph DiPonti, Dr. David Emon and Marley Bechard.
Motor City Community Credit Union, the presenting sponsor, was the proud recipient of the Above and Beyond Award.
“They are true champions and pillars of our community,” states Imperioli. “We have been blessed to have them as part of the In Honour family.”
Tish Harcus of Canadian Club, aka the “whisky gal” whose belief and inspiring presence is at the annual In Honour gala and all golf tournaments, received the prestigious 2023 Hand in Hand Award.
Along with all their volunteers and supporters, Imperioli and her team are so very grateful to everyone who have helped them reach this milestone in their history.
They look forward to the next 25 years of In Honour of the Ones We Love as do all of us at Biz X magazine. Their dedication to our community and its residents is incredible!
