The Canadian Progress Club-Halifax is a volunteer fundraising group that raises money for a number of great recipients, including The Progress Centre for Early Intervention, which provides direct assistance for families of early childhood developmental delays or disorders, and The King's Meadow Home, which is home to 10 adults with mental disabilities.

This year's phenomenal celebrity dinner head table consisted of top sports celebrities, including hockey hall of famers Frank Mahovlich and Bryan Trottier, football hall of famer Jim Kelly, Olympic gold medalist in kayaking Adam van Koeverden and basketball bad boy Dennis Rodman. The MC was none other than Rod Black from TSN.



AVW-TELAV has been a part of this charity event for the past six years and was honoured to provide the audio and visual requirements again for this very important event. During the 37th Annual Sports Celebrity Dinner which the Canadian Progress Club holds to raise funds, we provided six front-projection 9'x12' screens with six flown LCD projectors. These were used to facilitate a sports trivia game throughout the dinner, which was enjoyed by all in a competitive spirit.

AVW-TELAV also operated two cameras for image magnification, which magnified the people presenting and displayed their images on the screen to the audience members, specifically for those near the back of the room. We also recorded the evening for future promotion and keepsakes for the celebrities.
