On Saturday, June 19 we hope you will join friends of The Rotary Club of Edmonton as we celebrate Downtown with a Purpose, the 24th annual Downtown Rotary Gala supporting the most urgent needs in our community.
This evening of fun with a purpose starts at 6:00pm, which will include a reception with a no-host bar (6:00 pm) followed by a gourmet dinner (7:00 pm), served with fine wine, live and silent auction with Danny Hooper and dancing and entertainment with The Classics and the Kit Kats to complete the evening.
The annual Downtown with a Purpose Gala has raised over $1.25 million to support urgent needs in our city centre. The Downtown Edmonton Rotary Club is the oldest and largest in the Edmonton region. We are committed to supporting existing agencies and addressing the most urgent needs in our inner city. Our focus is legacy projects for high need children, singles and families in the areas of social services, education and health.
Our Club has committed to raising $375,000, to support the Council for the Advancement of African Canadians (CAAC). CAAC helps Africans who come from such culturally diverse backgrounds strengthen their understand each other as well as develop an understanding of the Canadian culture so they can become contributing members of our community. Past projects include partnerships to support The Rotary Centre for New Canadians, Rotary Millennium House, Lurana Shelter, Bissell Centre, Boyle McCauley Health Centre and Fort Edmonton Park.
