More Charities Benefit From Gala

Jan 25, 2018 | 6:00 PM

Tickets are now on sale for JCI Vernon’s biggest event of the year — the 2018 Gala and Charity Auction on April 21.

“This is our premier fundraising event of the year,” says Co-Chair, Cera Brown. “To date, we’ve raised over $375,000 for our community, and through continued support, we look forward to watching that number grow.”

Each year, the Gala incorporates a unique theme.

“We’re doing something pretty amazing this year,” adds Brown. “Our theme for 2018 is A Phantom’s Masquerade, so we’re encouraging guests to come wearing masks. Guests can expect a fabulous three-course meal, dancing, entertainment, and a few surprises along the way.”

Another change this year is the addition of two recipient charities – Vernon Women’s Transition House Society and Okanagan Boys & Girls Clubs – Teen Junction.

The Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation will be the primary recipient of the funds raised.

“With two additional local organizations being part of the event, in addition to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation, the Gala will provide support to even more people in need,” says Co-Chair Mike Mezynski.

Businesses, community groups and individuals have an opportunity to contribute through sponsorship, donation of auction items, and through ticket purchase.

Tickets $95 each at www.ticketseller.ca
