Blind Date With a Star is one of our favorite events each year! Great food, great people, and all for a great cause.
Thanks for giving FMAV the opportunity to help sponsor this event, we're looking forward to next year!

Municipal Group of Companies

I had the pleasure of attending with the Municipal Group of Companies once again and had a wonderful time! The venue was perfect and the food was incredible! The celebrities were awesome, we got matched with a member of The Pirates of Halifax who was wonderful company, and they do such great work, as does Chisholm! What a wonderful cause that we are proud to be a part of every year. Big thanks to all that worked so hard to make it happen!

Anne Melanson

This is one of the Premier "nights out" in Halifax - and more importantly for one of the most amazing causes I have experienced. I have been attending this event now for over 10 years, and look forward to many more

Congratulations on achieving 20 years of wonderful moments and contributions to our community.
