Committee announces next fundraising event
The Badlands Community Facility Fundraising Committee has had a successful season hosting events including the spaghetti dinner and beer gardens in support of the Badlands Dinosaur Half Marathon, the wildly successful Oktoberfest and on Saturday night the Diamond Dinner. After all of the events they were able to donate $20,000 to the Badlands Community Facility. Members of the committee include (l-r) Kim Suntjens, Linda Lacher, Heather Colberg, Hansine Kostelecky, Carolyn Huculak, Koren McDougald, Sharel Shoff and Lisa Hansen-Zacharuk.
The Badlands Community Facility Fundraising Committee wrapped up a successful autumn of exciting events on Saturday and is looking forward to continuing its efforts to support the facility in the new year.
On Saturday, November 16, the gowns were out as the committee revived the Diamond Dinner gala. The night featured great prizes, food and entertainment with Dueling Pianos on stage.
This event, combined with the earlier Oktoberfest party, and the spaghetti dinner and beer gardens to support the Dinosaur Half Marathon, the committee made a $20,000 donation towards the Badlands Community Facility.
The activity for the committee doesn’t stop there however, as they also announced their next endeavour.
On February 5, Habs fans are in for a treat as hockey legend and Hall of Famer Guy Lafleur will be leading the Montreal Canadiens Alumni team against the Drumheller All –stars.
The Habs are the most storied team in the NHL. It appears Lafleur will be coaching. While no roster has been confirmed, it could include literally dozens of legends including Guy Carbonneau, Stéphane Richer, Claude Lemieux or Denis Savard, to name a few of the possibilities.
Ticket will be going on sale on December 1. There are also some VIP tickets available which include a post game reception with the Montreal Canadiens at the Badlands Community Facility.
The funds from the event will be going to the Badlands Community Facility.
