LOVE HER 2019
|
Thank you for your exceptional support of Ovarian Cancer Canada at LOVE HER last night and for championing this cause. Because of your generosity, over $225,000 was raised to help women diagnosed with ovarian cancer and all those at risk of the disease, live fuller, better and longer lives.

A favourite on Royal Canadian Air Farce, Jessica Holmes has brought the house down opening for giants such as Ellen DeGeneres, Russell Peters, Jerry Seinfeld, and Oprah Winfrey. Her hilarious take on life’s challenges as well as her unique knack for skewering celebrities (including Nikki Minaj and Celine Dion) have audiences in stitches. Her customized emcee and entertainment presentations — which include motivation and wellness — are always a hit. |

VANCOUVER CHAIR:

FRANCI STRATTON
I am honored for the opportunity this year to Chair the 2019 LOVE HER Vancouver event. I have witnessed the impact ovarian cancer has had on the lives of those fighting ovarian cancer during treatment and how it has affected their family and friends. I have known women affected by ovarian cancer, a mom who lost her daughter, my hairdresser of 22 years who did not survive this devastating disease. As a community, we unite when we share common goals and experiences. Through community spirit, passion and outreach we can make a difference in the lives of so many through awareness, prevention and support. For these reasons I truly believe events like LOVE HER bring us together to unite us in a shared vision for hope, health and happiness. The LOVE HER committee is committed to creating an event that does just that through fashion, good food and laughter. Please join us on April 4, 2019 for another fantastic event and thank you in advance for your support in helping to find a cure for this disease. Franci is currently the Chief Administrative Officer at Nemetz (S/A) and Associates, an electrical engineering firm of over 50 years. She also served 10 years as Trustee and past Chair on the North Vancouver Board of Education. |

ELLA JOTIE
With over 20 years of professional experience in the entertainment, health and fitness industry, Ella combined her expertise as professional dancer, choreographer, group fitness instructor and personal trainer to spearhead the development of Barre Fitness, Canada’s original ballet barre based workout studio. Barre Fitness gets you a dancer’s body, without the dance! Combining the best elements of ballet barre with pilates, sports conditioning and stretching, it is guaranteed to tighten, tone and transform your body. A native of Vancouver, BC, Ella is an exceptional leader who has significantly altered the city’s fitness community. As a pioneer in the boutique fitness space, co-founding Barre Fitness in 2010, Ella has been a key player in the rise of Vancouver’s homegrown boutique fitness scene. The opportunity for growth came in the form of franchising for Ella and she implemented a franchise model to enable and empower other female entrepreneurs in BC and across the country. Today Barre Fitness is Canada’s most established barre brand. Ella is most proud of founding the Raise the Barre Fundraising Program that has vastly impacted the communities in which Barre Fitness serves. Through philanthropic classes, events, workshops and partnerships, the Raise the Barre Fundraising Program has donated over $200,000 for charities across BC. She’s also instilled a plastic water bottle ban in all studios that has already saved over 285,000 plastic bottles from landfill sites. Ella’s community involvement and philanthropic efforts far surpass the studio walls. She is a long-standing ambassador for the BC Cancer Foundation’s Workout to Conquer Cancer and a proud and loyal supporter of the CKNW Kids Fund and Pink Shirt Day. She is also a member of the Vancouver Board and Trade, and an E-Series graduate of the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs. Recent Awards include: 2019 winner - Canada’s Top Fitness Instructors - Impact Magazine 2018 winner - Visionary Award - Mindbody 2018 finalist - Entrepreneur of the Year - Futureprenuer |
