Everyone is invited to support the 2013 “I HEART UWINNIPEG” DINNER on MAY 23.

Tickets are now available for the fourth annual “I Heart UWinnipeg” Dinner, which will be held on Thursday, May 23rd at Canad Inns Polo Park.

This year’s event features honourary co-chair Michael Bruneau.

“I Heart UWinnipeg” Dinner proceeds benefit our Opportunity Fund, which offers inner city youth extra financial assistance to help them attend university and achieve their dreams.

Since 2007, the University has awarded more than 1,100 Opportunity Fund fast-track bursaries and more than 150 student recipients have already graduated!

Last year’s event attracted 600 people and raised more than $210,000 to help students in need.

Individual tickets are $95 per person ($45 tax receipt); corporate sponsorships are available from $1,200 and up.
