Celebrities Hit The Snow For Charity

December 25, 2007 by Tim Saunders

Former Agent 007 Pierce Brosnan will put his skiing skills to the test in January, joining a host of other celebrities as part of a charity fundraiser in Canada.

The Fairmont Banff Springs Celebrity Sports Invitational will be held at the Sunshine Village Ski Resort from January 17 to 20, and will involve stars such as Leslie Nielsen, Christie Brinkley, Alec Baldwin, and Tim Robbins.

The event, which has been held annually since 1987, will benefit the Waterkeeper Alliance, an organization founded by Robert J. Kennedy, Jr to protect North American waterways. Four days of skiing will be held on the slopes, in which members of the public can ski alongside celebrities, followed by a concert by former Doobie Brother Michael McDonald, a gala dinner, and an auction.

Tickets to the gala cost $500, and can be purchased from the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. Other stars to attend the event include Jason Priestley, Kelsey Grammer, Josie Bissett, and Elle Driver.
