The Ladner Legion was honoured with an Angel Award from Variety - The Children's Charity at the 43rd annual Heart Awards Dinner last month at the River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond. The award goes to a person or group that has been a major benefactor to Variety and its work with children with special needs. The Ladner Legion has been fundraising for Variety for more than 20 years, donating over $50,000 during that time. In addition, the Legion's Ladies Auxiliary has also been fundraising for about 10 years and has donated approximately $10,000.
