CRITICAL FUNDRAISER

Aspire Special Needs Resource Centre treats residents with an Evening of Decadent Dessert

Sep 10, 2024 | 5:04 PM

The Aspire Special Needs Resource Centre invites residents to its signature event and one of its largest fundraisers, an Evening of Decadent Dessert.

On October 3, guests can join Aspire for a champagne reception, raffles, entertainment, silent auction, a dinner buffet and, of course, a decadent dessert buffet. The evening will finish off with live auctions of one-of-a-kind cakes paired with unique experiences and items.

Organizers say the funds raised play a crucial role in supporting Aspire’s programs, purchasing specialized equipment, and providing fee assistance to eligible families.

“With less than a month remaining, we encourage you to secure your tickets early and bring your friends. You can also support the event by contributing to our silent auction, dessert buffet, or table centerpieces. Each of these contributions will enhance the evening while furthering our mission of enriching the lives of children by providing comprehensive child development services in collaboration with families and communities,” said Megan Fitzpatrick, event and donor relations coordinator.

Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. at the Parkland Pavilion at the Westerner Grounds in Red Deer. Tickets are available for $125 per person or $900 for a table of eight. Charitable tax receipts will be issued for a portion of the ticket price.
