The Owen Hart Foundation celebrated its 15th anniversary with a presentation of legendary comedian Dane Cook who performed two SRO shows at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium. Readers may recall the foundation has, over the years, brought legendary entertainers the likes of Jerry Seinfeld and Bob Newhart to Robin Williams and Howie Mandel. The Owen Hart Foundation has raised more than $3 million since its inception all the while supporting education for individuals with limited resources but unlimited potential. Cook brought the house down- to be sure, but for many in attendance, the highlight of the evening was a private screening of the award-winning short documentary The Owen Hart Foundation: A Look Back which recently won four awards at the prestigious Monaco International Film Festival. A delighted Martha Hart and her team picked up trophies for Best Short Documentary, Best Short Documentary Director, Best Film Editing Short Documentary and The Angel Humanitarian Film Award.
Kudos to all involved on the success of the 15th annual event and take a bow sentiments go out to headline sponsor Trago Tequila Company and respresentatives Dave Lavoie and Chris Tahn.
