Our Night-In Gala
Social distancing at its finest, the Night-In Gala has all the familiar elements of a traditional gala: dinner (option to be delivered to your door), game-changing speakers, entertainers, musicians, and much more. Dress your best, log on and dine with us in style from the comfort of your own home! Help us build a better community, together.
COVID-19 is dramatically affecting the way we live, but it isn’t changing who we are. Whenever our communities struggle, Canadians rally to support one another. On June 13th, we rally. We rally to support each other, we rally to support our local businesses, and we rally to showcase our community's strength and optimism for our collective future.
The night-In Gala’s goal is to raise $30,000 to support the Foundation's work in our community.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Get your computer ready and sign into the event with the link that will be emailed to you prior to the event start time. Our "variety show" style entertainment will be fun, inspiring and thought provoking. We hope to bring some joy and excitement to you in your living room to bring us all together, even though we're physically apart.
Your ticket purchase includes a dinner from our "Community Kitchen" - a unique, never-before-seen custom collaboration brought to you by Tyler at Humble Roots and Mike from Big Feast. Choose your menu option (chicken, beef or veggie), choose to pick up or have it delivered, add wine of your choice and you're all set!
Your ticket will be a direct and much-needed donation to support community efforts for our local residents, and we thank you for your contribution!
