About
Club 10:
When Anna
Chan first came to Canada, she had to start from scratch to
gain Canadian business experience. After gaining relevant
experience in the cosmetics industry, Anna decided to open
her own boutique. She liked "10" as it is the number
of perfection from the movie. The perfect "10".
"Club" came from a place where friends can get together
and talk. Tat was the birth of "Club 10".
Anna Chan
started the Club 10 Cosmetic Boutique 17 years ago and made
a commitment towards women's health, beauty and fashion. She
has as well made a commitment back to the community and has
participated in some great programs over the years. The most
recent one was her involvement in a program to raise funds
and awareness for the Yee Hong Community Wellness Foundation.
This time
Anna is taking another project under her wing called "Passion
for Life". Club 10 and Orlane Paris are thrilled
to be part of this program. What better way to fight Breast
Cancer than with Beauty and Art.
"
Over the years, I have appreciated how fragile and precious
life is "says Anna. "We still have a lot
to learn about breast cancer and this involves a lot of research.
It needs support from all of us to discover the secret of
Mother Nature. It is important to do as much as we can. This
is my legacy" Club 10 is happy to be a partner in Passion
for life. What a better way to fight breast cancer than
with Beauty and Art.

About
the Artist:
Antoine Gaber unique combination as a cancer researcher, businessman
and as an internationally recognized artist painter, represents
careers that are opposite to each other, raising in several
Countries more and more media attention, however, Gaber continuously
plays a role in the advancement of art and science. In an
incessant desire for harmony, Antoine Gaber, his artistic
works, his humanitarian projects and his incommensurable dreams
of communion with man and nature contribute in unison to the
working of his straightforward mission: utilizing his talent
to benefit a good cause. During his various exhibitions held
in several Countries, Gaber contributed an important percentage
of the sale of his artworks, and the profits from the use
of the imagery of his art to raise funds to further support
cancer research. Neither success nor notoriety can deter the
painter from his ideals.
Antoine
Gaber was awarded with the prestigious Prize of the "Lorenzo
il Magnifico", in recognition of Gaber's artistic
career during the 2003 Florence Biennale Internazionale dell'Arte
Contemporanea one of the most prestigious art exhibition.
Gaber will also represent Canada once again in December 2005
in Florence Italy.

"Passion
for Life" Artist Statement
As a
medical researcher, I have come to appreciate how precious
life truly is. From the journey faced by those fighting
to overcome illness, to the artistic endeavors I have experienced
as I continue through my journey of self-expression, one
becomes acutely aware life is more than simply existing.
It truly is a celebration. If you choose to embrace every
day to the fullest; mixing it with a sense of wonder and
purpose, you, too, will discover your inner peace. You,
too, will realize your passion for life.
