Rain didn’t dampen spirits during an annual Kelowna charity golf tournament last month.

The annual 9 Wine and Pie event, held on Sept. 21, saw a down pour of support for Her International, a charity that aims to empower women and girls through education.

The sold out event drew more golfers than any year previous and raised more than $20,000 to support marginalized girls and woman in Nepal and here in Canada.

Held at Sunset Ranch Golf Course, the evening included nine holes of golf, a pie contest and of course wine tasting.

Organized by Her International president Kevin Edgecombe, the event went off without a hitch and the fundraising goal was met.
