Oct 5, 2026 | 11:57 AM

Three central Alberta organizations are planning a one-of-a-kind fundraiser for next spring, featuring a very well-known face.

On April 15, 2027, the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre, Dress for Success Central Alberta, and the Red Deer Homeless Foundation will unite with the one and only Gerry Dee for ‘Survey Says…’

“Survey Says… is a wonderful example of what can happen when charities come together around a shared purpose,” says Mark Jones, CEO of the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre.

“By bringing Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre, Dress for Success Central Alberta, and Red Deer Homeless Foundation together for one unforgettable night, we’re creating an opportunity for our community to support three important causes at once. It’s three charities, one incredible event, and three times the impact because when we work together, our community goes further.”

The eight teams competing are: 

  1. Vanessa Nogareda & Team
  1. Terry Loewen — Loewen Legacy Homes
  1. Mike Samson — Kipp Scott GMC Buick
  1. Patrick Wigmore — MNP — Featuring Dustin Moore, Kevin Walsh, Jodi Gagnon, Jillian Anderson
  1. Kevin Waschuk — The Waschuks Family — Featuring Ann Waschuk, Starlise Waschuk, Zakk Waschuk, Kortney Waschuk
  1. Derek Fredeen — BILD Central Alberta — Featuring Claire Welikoklad, Lisa Stade, Chris Windrim, Joey Skrukwa
  1. Jessica — Scotiabank
  1. Kaelyn Gillard — Bourouge International, formerly known as Nova Chemicals

Sponsorship opportunities are available, and organizers say ticketing information will be released in the coming weeks.
