Sixth Annual Danny Burns Memorial 'Feed the Hungry Benefit'
VANCOUVER - Mark your calendars now for the Celtic FUNdraiser event of the season.
A night of merriment and cheer to share with family and friends in support of the Union Gospel Mission, an organization that brings hope and help to many of our city's less fortunate.
The sixth annual Danny Burns Memorial "Feed the Hungry Benefit" is happening on December 9 at the Wolf & Hound in Vancouver and, in Danny's honour, a great night of entertainment is in the works.
Born in Belfast, Danny was a life-long musician who was born into a musical family. He had a larger-than-life personality and was active in charitable activities and Irish cultural life in both North America and Ireland.
