Grand Gala all about art, creativity and philanthropy

The Grand Gala is the newest fundraising event to grace the local social scene. Described as “…A night filled with progressive art, design, culture, acrobat performers, live art models, red carpet photographer, champagne reception, entertainment, delicious food and dancing!…” The event is in support of Vantage Community Services (formerly Parkland Youth Homes), an organization with a 30 year history in Central Alberta.
We spoke with CEO Rebecca Chahine and Morgan Day, event organizer and marketing specialist with Vantage Community Services, to get a sense of what the Grand Gala is all about and to learn a bit more about what Vantage Community Services.
