Aspire’s Evening of Decadent Dessert exceeds 2017 goal!
(Red Deer) – On Friday, May 12, Aspire Special Needs Resource Centre presented the 23rd annual Evening of Decadent Dessert, our biggest annual fundraiser, at the Parkland Pavilion, Westerner Park.
The success of this event has demonstrated, year after year, what a supportive and generous community can be found in Central Alberta. The funds raised from this event help us to fulfill our mission to provide hope to children with special needs, the families who love them, and the communities who care for them.
“Evening of Decadent Dessert is a critical event for us, as it is our largest fundraising event each year,” says Michelle Moore, chair of Aspire’s Board of Directors. “This year, we raised a net of $129,000 from the event, which is an increase over 2016, and exceeds our goal of $125,000!”
At the end of the evening, draws were also made for the Aspire Children’s Raffle, another annual fundraising activity.
