Acclaimed actress Kate Linder of “The Young and The Restless” chatted about her 2022 OpportiniTea event, which benefits March of Dimes Canada.
This marks her 10th annual OpportuniTea event, and it will take place on Sunday, December 11, 2022, in Toronto, Canada. “I am excited because this is going to be live because the last couple of years we had to do it virtually,” Linder said. “Fingers crossed that everything is going to be okay. It is coming up fast.”
She has played the role of Esther Valentine for over four decades in the No. 1 daytime drama.
Linder will be joined by such “The Young and The Restless” co-stars as Christian LeBlanc, Cait Fairbanks, Camryn Grimes, Bryton James, Mishael Morgan, and Brytni Sarpy. It will be emceed by Carolyn Mackenzie, the host of Global TV’s “The Morning Show.” “We have such a great lineup,” she exclaimed. “Christian, Cait, Camryn, Mishael, and Brytni will all be there, so I am excited to have them. We are still putting everything together. Carolyn is great too. The actors have donated their time for this. It will be great to see everyone.”
There will be photo opportunities, meet and greets, autograph signings, as well as live and silent auctions. The proceeds benefit the March of Dimes Canada’s Conductive Education program. “I am the ambassador of the Conductive Education Program, and I’ve seen great changes where the kids become productive members of society. This program is fabulous, it’s seen it firsthand,” she said.
“Once we saw it in action, we realized that this program is so great. Plus. the kids are our future,” she added. “All charities are having difficulties these days, it has been hard. This event is a win-win for everyone.”
At March of Dimes Canada, they believe childhood with a disability can and should be beautiful, but we know it’s not always easy. All of the proceeds from OpportuniTea will go to ensuring that children and youth living with disabilities can achieve their full potential through programs like Conductive Education. Linder has been March of Dimes Canada’s Ambassador of Conductive Education since 2012.
