4th Annual Eat, Drink and Be Giving
A Fundraising Gala in Benefit of Candace House
November 2, 2025
A SPECTACULAR EVENT!
It was a wonderful evening of entertainment from Natanielle Felicitas & Kevin McLean, bubbly provided by Manitoba Liquor Marts, and a delicious dinner from the chefs at The Leaf.
Our raffle included prizes such as a handmade ribbon skirt donated by Sandra DeLaronde, an amateur bartender kit from Manitoba Liquor Marts, a Winnipeg Jets signed jersey, tickets for local arts and culture events such as RWB, Folklorama, Manitoba Theatre Centre, and Manitoba Opera.
We shared important stories of resiliency from some of our families, heard words from Elder Leslie Spillet about the direct impact, and community partner Travis Barsy shared a heartfelt drumming song.
Because of your generosity, our gala was a tremendous success - we are so grateful to have the incredible support of our community behind us. We want to thank you for everything that you help make possible. We certainly cannot take the pain of losing a loved one, but together we can provide comfort and refuge.
We hope to see you at our next gala!
