5th Annual Eat, Drink and Be Giving
A Fundraising Gala in Benefit of Candace House
November 1, 2025

A Spectacular Event!

It was a wonderful evening of entertainment from the Ivan Chernenko Trio, heartfelt words from our community member and donor Tobi Jolly and Candace House family member Terry Kent, and a delicious dinner from the chefs at The Leaf.

 

Our raffle included many large prize packs, including a spa package, family fun package, coffee lovers package, Folklorama Visa passes, local theatre and arts tickets, and many more! We are thankful for our many, many prize sponsors who generously donated their goods and services to us.

 

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!

Thank You
