Community invited to meet the Red Deer Rebels and give back to kids
Are you a fan of the Red Deer Rebels who likes to support a great cause?
Annie L. Gaetz Elementary School and the Red Deer Rebels have held a strong partnership for 31 years, and next week, the community is invited to attend an event which will benefit kids through the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation.
The event will take place October 25 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at Indigo, 5250 22 St. #10 Red Deer.
“We are excited to invite our families, as well as the community to Indigo for this fundraising event,” said Principal Deanne Good. “Fans will have the unique opportunity to meet and greet their favourite players, as the Rebels will be signing autographs and taking photos with attendees. This promises to be an unforgettable experience for all hockey enthusiasts.”
Annie L. Gaetz Elementary School is proud to be a selected school for the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation, which aims to enrich the lives of students by promoting literacy and access to quality books. At the event, the community is invited to contribute to this essential cause and help foster a love of reading among young students through donations that will be collected.
“Donations can be made to the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation at the event to help ensure that young students at Annie L. Gaetz have access to a wide array of books to foster their love for reading,” said Deanne. “Every dollar counts, and your support will make a lasting impact on the lives of these children.”

“We are delighted to congratulate the winners of this year’s Red Deer Hospital Lottery,” said Manon Therriault, Chief Executive Officer of the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation. “The funds raised from this lottery will significantly contribute to enhancing patient care and services at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated and supported this important cause.”
Proceeds from the Red Deer Hospital Lottery and Mega Bucks 50 will contribute to acquiring critically needed, state-of-the-art equipment for several units at the Red Deer Hospital.
This year’s lottery will fund equipment such as a phototherapy system, which allows parents to hold and soothe their infant while undergoing phototherapy, a cardiology case cart to monitor cardiac rhythms during stress testing, and other equipment to help provide excellent care for patients in the emergency and operating rooms at the Red Deer Hospital.
The winners of a variety of electronics were also drawn today. A full list of winners will be available in the coming days on the official lottery website at reddeerhospitallottery.ca. Prize winners who have not already been notified will receive a letter in the mail with instructions on how to claim their prizes.
The keys to the Sorento Dream Home and the Tree Hugger Tiny Home will be presented to the winners at a special ceremony this summer.
Now, during this momentous chapter in our history, we invite you to join us for the Grand Opening of the Sheldon Kennedy Centre of Excellence.
