 Join Young & Restless stars on Oct. 4, Noon PT/ 3pm ET 

Kate Linder & Friends announces the first-ever Virtual OpportuniTea with Linder and her Young and the Restless castmates on Sunday, October 4. The Calgary OpportuniTea with Kate Linder and Friends has tentatively been moved to spring 2021, but here's a chance to get your Y&R fix until then for free and still benefit March of Dimes Canada's Conductive Education (CE) program. 

Linder will host a virtual online event with her Young & The Restless co-stars to support March of Dimes Canada. Join us for the chance to ask a question of your favorite Y&R star and to bid on exclusive auction items.  

Who:  Kate Linder (Esther Valentine), co-host Christian Leblanc (Michael Baldwin), and their Y&R castmates Tracey Bregman (Lauren Fenmore), Sharon Case (Sharon Newman), Mark Grossman (Adam Newman), Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe Mitchell), Bryton James (Devon Hamilton), Beth Maitland (Traci Abbott), Brytni Sarpy (Elena Dawson) and Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers). Global co-hosts Jeff MacArthur and Carolyn MacKenzie (Global National) and Linda Olsen (Global Calgary) will also participate. 

What: Our first ever Virtual OpportuniTea will be an hour of virtual Y&R fun. The event is free but you can still support March of Dimes Canada two ways: 

Donate for the chance to ask your favourite star a question!: Donate $20 before 11:59 PM ET on August 31 for the chance to submit a question to your favorite Y&R cast member. One question will be chosen for each cast member, and they'll record their answer for broadcast during the virtual event. This event will be pre-taped after your questions are selected.  

Online Auction: You can also bid on exclusive auction items. Bidding opens on September 7, 2020. Check out our website at www.marchofdimes.ca/TeaOnline to start your bidding. Auction ends an hour after the event concludes.
 

Why: Fundraiser for March of Dimes Canada's Conductive Education program.  

Conductive Education is designed for kids and adults with neurological motor disorders like cerebral palsy or multiple sclerosis. Participants maximize their independence by developing skills they need to meet the practical challenges of living with a disability.  

Linder has hosted OpportuniTea events to support Conductive Education in Calgary and Toronto and she is the program's proud celebrity ambassador.
