Actress Goldie Hawn with Army & Navy owner Jacqui Cohen at Cohen’s Point Grey home on Friday.
Actress Goldie Hawn was among more than 220 guests at a swanky black-tie event in Vancouver over the weekend that raised almost $1 million for various charitable groups and organizations throughout the city. Jacqui Cohen, owner of the Army & Navy department store chain and founder of the Face the World Foundation, hosted the $1,500-a-ticket event at her waterfront home in Point Grey Friday as part of an annual fundraising tradition. About $800,000 was raised. “I support anything for children, and (Cohen’s) honouring me tonight, so I’m here to be honoured,†said Hawn, an Academy Award winner and former Shaughnessy resident. Hawn also founded the Hawn Foundation in 2003, a non-profit public charity dedicated to helping children reach their potential. “We’ve had great success with it and it was born here (in Vancouver), so it’s pretty cool,†she said.
Retired Canuck Trevor Linden was also in attendance.
