September 9
Canuck Place Children’s Hospice, in partnership with the Social Concierge, is hosting the inaugural Oasis Beach Club fundraiser Friday, Sept. 9 at Second Beach Pool in Stanley Park, which will be transformed into an art fair-style poolside party, complete with DJs, cocktails, immersive art installations and the most breathtaking sunset views in the city.
The Oasis Beach Club, inspired by the fabulous poolside parties regularly held in Miami and St. Tropez, promises to be an unforgettable evening in support of B.C.’s only pediatric palliative care provider.
This is the first event of its kind to be granted access to Second Beach Pool, though guests should note they will not have access to the pool.
There will be a cash bar available for party-goers who must be 19 years or older to attend.
Visit oasisbeachclub.ca for more information and tickets.
