Tickets for Blackfalds FCSS Winter Warmth Fundraiser now on sale

Last year, the Winter Warmth Fundraiser supported 135 youth in Blackfalds with winter coats, boots, and snow boots as part of the Winter Wear Program.

Officials say the demand for the Winter Wear Program is expected to increase this year.

“As we all know, prices are only going up for essential clothing, and families, especially children, in our community are feeling the effects,” explained FCSS Manager Wendy Griffin. “We want those children to be able to play in the snow with their friends and family, have snowball fights, go sledding, or simply be a kid with a new winter jacket.

“By purchasing a ticket, you will provide an essential winter clothing item for a child in the Blackfalds community. Even if you are unable to participate in the live auction, your ticket includes a beautiful catered meal, cash bar, and live entertainment for the evening – perfect for a date night, family night out, corporate team building, or art and dessert lovers. Together, we can keep our community warm this winter!”

Mayor Laura Svab reiterated the importance of this event.

“The Winter Warmth Fundraiser is a great example of what makes Blackfalds such a caring community. It is always a fun evening where people can come together, enjoy a meal, and take part in the excitement of the dessert auction and other fundraising activities,” Svab shared. “What makes it even more meaningful is knowing that the money raised helps provide local children with warm clothing and other essentials for the winter months.”

FCSS is also continuing to accept donations for the live auction. If you are a baker or an artist and would like to contribute, please contact FCSS at 403-600-9066.
