Tow women laughing and enjoying themselves

Since 1989 the Foundation has provided a wide variety of arts and life skill and human diversity workshops that bring unique experiences to local kids. These exceptional hands-on experiences with professionals introduce students to richer ways of living and learning. Funding for these enrichment opportunities comes solely from fundraising efforts.

One such effort is the Gala Auction which takes place on November 8th at The Church Restaurant in Stratford.

Celebrating its’ 20th year, the Gala Auction includes a gourmet meal and live and silent auction items anywhere from getaways to artwork, gift packages to sports tickets – all to make certain that 140 crucial arts and human diversity workshops continue to enhance over 5000 students in the Avon Maitland district throughout year.
