Past charity events hosted by Linder have been not only fun, but a great opportunity for fans to interact with their favorite Young and Restless stars. Cast members slated to attend this fundraiser along with Kate Linder are Christian Le Blanc (Michael Baldwin), Doug Davidson (Paul Williams), Beth Maitland (Traci Abbott), Mark Grossman (Adam Newman) and Y&R make-up pro Patti Denney and hair stylist Regina Rodriguez.
Linder has been hosting charitable events in Vancouver since 1998 and her efforts have raised over $1,000,000 to date to benefit healthcare organizations in British Columbia. The Canucks for Kids organization, associated with the Vancouver Canucks NHL professional hockey team, dedicates resources to assist charities which support children’s health and wellness, foster the development of grassroots hockey, and facilitate and encourage education in British Columbia. This year’s proceeds will be directed specifically to British Columbia youth-related mental health issues and programs.
