2018 Havana Nights Gala
The 2018 Havana Nights Gala raised over $190,000 towards end-of-life compassionate care funding 365 days of care for a resident!
On March 3, 2018, Red Deer Hospice was bringing the heat on a snowy first weekend in March, with our Havana Nights Gala.
Five hundred guests were #HavanaGoodTime, sipping Mojitos and Havana Club rum during the Cocktail Reception hosted by Vellner Leisure Products.
Many guests came dressed in Havana attire but there were sales stalls with fedoras, flip-flops and fans for purchase. A live cigar roller was onsite demonstrating the authentic art of Cuban cigar rolling. As well, thanks to all those who let us use their classic cars in the room to help make our event feel more authentically Cuban.
Guests had the opportunity to win a week at a luxury condo donated by Laser & Skin Care Medspa, a Flames vs Oilers Centre Ice Experience (sponsored by Joe & Donna Pobihushchy) and a fabulous decor package courtesy of Central Alberta Tile One. Calgary's amazing Spotlight Band coupled with dancers Artists Elite International, kept guests entertained and on their feet throughout the evening.
All funds raised at Gala go towards supporting end of life care at Red Deer Hospice. Profits from the Havana Nights Gala will fund one resident room in Hospice for an entire year!
Thanks to all who attended and to the sponsors who underwrite Gala expenses so that all funds raised go directly to resident care.
