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 delivered to your home for you to enjoy while you watch the show, which will be streamed live on Facebook and YouTube. Links will be emailed to all ticket holders and donors prior to the event. 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.
The causes
This year the Gala is supporting two important international causes that serve vulnerable children and their families in Africa and the Middle East.
All Mothers and Children Count COVID-19 Extension Fund. This fund supports Primate’s World Relief and Development partners in Rwanda, Mozambique, Tanzania and Burundi as they work to ensure physical distancing, access to clean water, soap and disinfectant, personal protective equipment (PPE) and reliable health information. This extension of All Mothers and Children Count will allow also these partners to maintain important gains in food security and maternal, newborn and child health. 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 $1,600 a month.
How to donate (with or without a ticket)
The Bishop’s Gala is a great opportunity to contribute to these causes —and enjoy our first-ever virtual gala. To make a donation, please visit 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.
