Run for the Roses Gala turns into virtual fundraiser

October 31, 2020

For the first time in our history, the Sources Foundation's annual gala fundraiser - Run for the Roses - will be delivered virtually and, for the first time ever, the general public can support our event and fundraising efforts through an online silent auction as well as an online 50/50 raffle draw!

Both online events are open from now until Monday November 9 at noon. Your donations and bids will make a difference! Together with our other fundraising efforts, we hope to raise $275,000 for SOURCES' Comfort and Care During COVID-19 response fund and social wellness programs.

These changes to our event are, unfortunately, a direct result of rising COVID-19 case numbers. This year's 25th Anniversary Gala was scheduled for April 25, 2020 but, due to the pandemic, we postponed it to November 7 and transformed it into an intimate dinner experience that followed all safety protocols set by our Provincial Health Officer. However, given the rising number of infections, we decided earlier this week to turn the event into a virtual one for the safety of all involved. Learn more about our virtual event

We are grateful for the support and understanding of all our sponsors, donors and ticket holders as we worked to make these changes. We are also grateful to those who transitioned their sponsorships and tickets to a donation or postponed them to 2021. Thank you for being there for us in the spirit of community.

, we have fantastic auction prizes including gift cards to Gotham Steakhouse and local establishments, a Family Membership to Science World, Date Night and Fitness Packages and more! If you can, place a bid, purchase tickets or make a donation. Help us spread the word by sharing this email.

As we ride out this 'second wave,' our community's most vulnerable need your help more than ever. Funds raised will help us to meet the pressing demand for services that address food security, homelessness, mental health and more. Thank you for your support.

Stay safe. Stay well.
