Kate Linder hosts charity dinner benefiting youth-related mental health programs

The Young and the Restless' Kate Linder (Esther Valentine) is hosting a dinner benefiting youth-related mental health issues and programs that will also honor late Y&R cast member Kristoff St. John (ex-Neil Winters).

Beloved The Young and the Restless star Kate Linder (Esther Valentine) has something very special planned for this summer: a charity dinner that benefits youth-related mental health programs.

Linder has teamed up with Global BC and Alaska Airlines for the event, formerly titled An Evening with Kate Linder and Friends. The dinner will help raise money for the Canucks for Kids Fund, which dedicates resources to assist charities that support children's health and wellness, and facilitate and encourage education in British Columbia. This year's net proceeds will be directed specifically to British Columbia mental health issues and programs for young people.

The event will include a wine and cheese reception, a three-course dinner featuring B.C. cuisine, a prize raffle, the popular Q&A segment, a live auction, a gift bag, and the annual presentation of the Ron Linder Award.
