14th Annual Celebrate & Educate Italian Dinner and Silent & Live Auction

Taking place Saturday, November 28th at Manulife Financial's head office at 500 King Street North, Waterloo. Doors and silent auction bidding opens at 5 pm and dinner starts at 6:30 pm. Bidding continues through the evening. All proceeds to go HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre. Call 519-742-4673 to reserve.

This year's silent auction features more than 290 items and 10 live. Some of this year's live auction items can be previewed here.

(Psst - we're still working on it, but there may be Leafs, Raptors, and Guns and Roses tickets in there!)

This formal dinner hosts a raffle that also sells tickets in the community. This year our prizes are worth over $9,700, double that of previous years! Raffle tickets will be sold at the dinner and are also available in advance from our Waterloo location - 1 for $5, 3 for $10, and 7 for $20. The final draw will take place at the dinner.

Our Spiritual Warrior awards will also be presented at the dinner. These three $2,000 scholarships go to students starting their first year of post-secondary education, who have dealt with cancer during their young lives, either themselves or in someone they love.$5 from each ticket goes to support the Spiritual Warrior Scholarship Fund.

It's a fun, lively, energetic evening - a great way to have a nice night out, do some holiday shopping and support a good cause at the same time!
