“Loved the whole event!”       

“It was a beautiful night and tables looked lovely”. 

Guests had the opportunity to network and browse with Vendors during the Cocktail Hour. Later in the evening, guests were seated for a Live Fashion Show and Handbag Auction with Frances Fripp, raising funds for Children and Youth. As a result from the community’s support, 125 Counselling Sessions will be funded!

Proceeds will support, Behavioral Support and Therapy, Family & Individual Counselling, and funding for Youth Aging of Care. In 2022, 140 Children and Youth received assistance for Mental Health and Critical Support. In 2023, over 90 Youth Aging Out of Care will require funding to continue the path of success for a brighter future and to reach their full potential. Throughout the year, DCAF assists over 4000 children, youth and families through various programs and services
