UGDSB Students host charity gala
A semester of preparation and just weeks to pull off a major event from start to finish, a group of youth in Guelph are turning ambition into a large-scale charity gala that will take place next month.
Students enrolled in the Upper Grand District School Board’s Beyond Borders program are in the midst of planning “Ambition,” a charity gala that will feature inspiring performances, great food and a strong sense of community.
The students are responsible for every aspect of the event, from marketing the event and booking entertainment, to securing corporate sponsors and staying on budget.
“Ambition” will raise funds for three causes: Mount Sinai Hospital’s fetal unit for Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), Sick Kids Hospital and support for Syrian newcomer families who have settled in local communities – all causes that are close to the hearts of Beyond Borders staff and students.
The event will take place on Jan. 13 at 7pm at the River Run Centre, 35 Woolwich Street, Guelph.
