For 19 years Kelowna乌鸦传媒檚 Maxine DeHart has been hosting one of the best charity fundraisers in Kelowna.
But until now, her sister Linda had never been to Kelowna to witness the fundraiser.
But this year was different as DeHart was able to have both of her sisters with her last week at the 19th Annual Maxine DeHart United Way, Ramada Hotel Drive-Thru Breakfast.

DeHart was joined by sisters Linda Ferguson (breakfast rookie) as well as Tracy Nyboe (breakfast veteran) at the event, the first time the three had been together at it.
乌鸦传媒淚t was absolutely amazing,乌鸦传媒� said Ferguson. 乌鸦传媒淚 had no idea. People had so much fun. I couldn乌鸦传媒檛 believe how everyone was in such a great mood. The people, the volunteers, even the pets!乌鸦传媒�
Together with a ton of friends乌鸦传媒攁nd her two sisters乌鸦传媒擠eHart乌鸦传媒檚 Drive-Thru Breakfast was another smashing success, raising $45,500 for the Central Okanagan United Way.
乌鸦传媒淚 thought it went exceptionally well,乌鸦传媒� said DeHart, who said she was exhausted when it was over. 乌鸦传媒淭he cars started coming at 5:15 a.m. and didn乌鸦传媒檛 stop until 9:20 so the people are definitely liking the event. They opened their hearts and the wallets. I was concerned with the flooding and the disasters, even in other countries. But I think it worked out really well. People really gave for their community.乌鸦传媒�
乌鸦传媒淭his is our 19th year,乌鸦传媒� said DeHart during the day. 乌鸦传媒淭hey乌鸦传媒檝e all come en masse to get a bag and support me, I am so happy.乌鸦传媒�
While the breakfast is a lot of work, and DeHart noted she is 19 years older than when she started, you will see her running around in PJs once again in 2018.
乌鸦传媒淚 want to make my 20th,乌鸦传媒� said DeHart. 乌鸦传媒淣ext year is the 20th and I am hoping I can make 20 years. Normally an event like this only lasts about seven years they tell me, so I have gone 19 and I hope to make 20. I think that is pretty damn good.乌鸦传媒�
