SPRING FUNDRAISER A SMASHING SUCCESS

Through tickets, silent and live auctions, and raffle, the event raised close to $40,000, all going directly to Trafalgar's bursary and scholarship programs, continuing to increase access to a Traf education. However, all told, including donations of food, drink, decor items, and auction & raffle prizes, the event represented close to $70,000 in donations to Trafalgar! 

An incredible team of dedicated volunteers and supporters made the evening the huge success that it was. Thanks to Hurley's Irish Pub, Dunn's Famous Smoked Meat, Daboom Desserts, and Melrose Pizza for providing delicious food and drink throughout the evening. And, thank you to Modern Event Furniture and Maison Prunelle for providing the show stopping bar and auction table display!

Back by popular demand, Shinebox provided the music for the night, playing everyone's favourite songs from the 90s and 2000s. The evening was Emceed by Traf dad Mathew Wood, who far surpassed the call to host by including his hilarious antics, costume changes, and excellent auctioneering skills! 

This incredible group of parents worked to bring the evening together seamlessly: Alex Topley, Mathew Wood, Candace Knowlton, Marleigh Greaney, Jessica Dyck, Kyla Martin, Tara Wilkie, Thomas Klein, JJ Heisler, Colin Brodhead, Rod Applebee (Hurley's Irish Pub), Gavin Grant (Dunn's Famous Smoked Meat and Daboom Desserts), Paolo Oliveira (Melrose Pizza), Charles Kay and Vanessa Stettler (Modern Event Furniture and Maison Prunelle), and thank you to our event sponsors: Enterprise Holdings, and Groupe Astoria. Thank you to the many others (parents and staff) whom gave their time to assist with both event set-up and take-down, as well as volunteering during the event. Thank you to the many who participated through their donations of auction and raffle items and experiences!
