On October 29, Barbie celebrated her 50th Birthday with a gala evening at Jonathon Bancroft-Snell Gallery bringing over 400 examples of her lavish and extensive wardrobe.

Each of the dolls on display were also for sale, with 15% of the sale of each Barbie will be donated to our work with student nutrition programs.

Thank to Jonathon Bancroft-Snell Gallery and Diane Thompson, owner of the collection of Barbies, for supporting in Investing in Children.

Check out our gallery from the evening here.

Investing in Children would like to thank the Greater London and Area Golf Superintendents and Syngenta Crop Protection Canada, Inc. for choosing Investing in Children as the charity of choice at their final association golf tournament. Teams were matched up in a Ryder Cup match play format and the winning team was able to choose the charity to receive the donated proceeds.

Mark your calendars for Thursday, October 29, and join us at Jonathon Bancroft-Snell Gallery for a special celebration of Barbie's 50th Birthday. Proceeds from sales at the event will support Investing in Children's work with the Children's Nutrition Network in support of school-based nutrition programs. You can pick up tickets at the gallery, or from Investing in Children by calling (519) 433-8996 ext. 224.
