If you are going to expand your waistline, why not do it for a good cause?

The seventh annual Celebrity Dim Sum fundraiser takes place this Saturday at Floata Seafood Restaurant in Chinatown bringing together some of the city's glitziest personalities to help raise money for AIDS Vancouver’s Community Outreach Program.

The real star of the show will be the delicious dim sum brunch provided by Floata, with dim sum carts being pushed by the likes of Global TV's Sophie Lui, Shaw TV's The Rush host Fiona Forbes, CTV News anchor Mi-Jung Lee, CBC's Rick Cluff and Cecilia Walters, recording artist Mary Zilba (formerly of the Real Housewives of Vancouver), and Mayor Gregor Robertson.

The hugely popular Chicken Feet Eating Contest will be back (no word on whether Gregor will be entering), and live and silent auctions will round out the afternoon's festivities. 

Money raised will help provide outreach HIV information, education, and support to people who are a high risk of contracting HIV.
