“There will be kids taking part who have diverse needs, and then the amount the grants will be to each organization depends on how many vehicles we get registered into the rally,” says Lynn Van Laar, event organizer, and co-chair of the foundation’s fundraising subcommittee.

You can learn how to sponsor a child, enter a car, or nominate a deserving child co-pilot here, email lynn_vanlaar@yahoo.com, or call 403-872-1405. The intent to sponsor is needed by Aug. 15.

Van Laar notes the show and shine is free for the public to attend; there will be ice cream and mini donuts for purchase, plus face painting and more, as well as some special guests and live entertainment.

“Kids are always important, and it’s the same reason I organize the Christmas Wish Breakfast — if we can make a difference in even one child’s life for even a very short period of time, it’s worth it,” adds Van Laar.

The evening fundraiser for the foundation will support the longevity and the sustainability of Westerner Park.

According to the foundation’s website, which you can look at here, the foundation was established in 2021 with the objective of promoting, fundraising and investing in initiatives to support the park’s long-term sustainability.

Its key pillars are capital programs, innovation and events, education and community engagement, and exceptional guest experiences.

Tickets for the gala are available here.
