In Honour of the Ones We Love celebrated its 25th anniversary in style Saturday night at the Ciociaro Club.

“We’re so fortunate and so blessed,” said founder Anita Imperioli.

Close to 1,000 people attended the gala which was highlighted by a candle lighting ceremony honouring lost loved ones.

Founded in 1997, the organization has raised $16 million in support of patients with cancer and other life threatening illnesses and disabilities in Windsor and Essex County.

Saturday’s event raised close to $500,000.

“We have some amazing people here tonight that are here tonight because they believe in what we do and they know we need more,” said a thankful Imperioli.
