elves 2008 Red Carpet Gala--Auction & Dinner
Saturday October 18, 2008
The event was an overwhelming success! Please look forward to more details about how much was raised as all proceeds will go towards building an Adapted Recreation Area at our Elves Adult & Youth Centre for our severely disabled youth and adults.
We aspired to have each guest that attended to have the experience of our Red Carpet. With Su-Ling Goh live reporting, the “paparazzi” taking your picture, Nicola Crosbie on the Red Carpet and Performers Marilyn Monroe and Pavarotti on the Red Carpet, it was original, exciting and a night to remember!
Our guest speaker, Edmonton's favourite Chief Meteorologist from Global Edmonton, Nicola Crosbie did a fantastic job helping us celebrate "a night with our stars" to illustrate the importance of quality of life for our severely disabled youth and adults and their families and caregivers.
