38th Annual and First Virtual Gala and Silent Auction
Thursday, May 27
Tickets: bishopsgala2021.eventbrite.ca
Donations also welcome
Tune in for an evening of entertainment featuring talent from across the Diocese of Ottawa. Gala tickets are available now, and numbers are limited—they will sell out quickly.
Your $75 ticket will provide you with early access to our great silent auction as well as a swag bag full of delicious goodies hand-delivered to you ahead of time to enjoy at home while you watch the show. Those not wishing to buy a ticket will also be able to tune into the event, bid on silent auction items, and of course, make a donation. You can purchase your ticket at https://bishopsgala2021.eventbrite.ca.
This year the Gala is supporting two important international causes that serve vulnerable children and their families in Africa and the Middle East.
All Mother’s and Children Count COVID-19 Extension Fund is a Primate’s World Relief and Development initiative that offers a comprehensive health, food security, and nutrition program in rural Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and Mozambique. It enables the distribution of food to HIV-positive women, pregnant and lactating women, and malnourished children. Global Affairs Canada is matching donations 6:1 until the end of June!
Virtual Therapy for Disabled Children is an urgently needed service of the Jerusalem Princess Basma Centre that serves disabled Palestinian children who live on the West Bank. The Centre is the only treatment option for these children; travel restrictions and other factors make it difficult to access the program. Virtual care therapy now enables 150 children and their families to receive assistance from a multi-disciplinary team. The cost of providing this service to one child is a whopping $1,600 a month!
The Bishop’s Gala is a great opportunity for you to contribute to these causes. To make a donation, please visit https://bishopsgala2021.eventbrite.ca, or mail your cheque (payable to “The Anglican Diocese of Ottawa” with “Bishop’s Gala” on the memo line) to The Bishop’s Office, 71 Bronson Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario K1R 6G6.
Please mark your calendars to join Bishop Shane and his gala team to hear about and support these worthy beneficiaries—and to enjoy our first-ever virtual gala on May 27.
Stay tuned for more information about our silent auction and watch for more compelling information about the two great causes the Gala is supporting this year.
