Hospice Takes Us Back To The 80’S With ‘Luxe Lounge’
Grab your tickets to gain access to Red Deer Hospice’s gala.
On February 25th, Red Deer’s Sheraton Hotel’s Special Events Centre will be transformed into the 80’s style high-end club the hospice is calling the Luxe Lounge.
Guests will enjoy VIP treatment all night starting with a red carpet hosted by Todayville’s own Lloyd Lewis, complete with paparazzi followed by specialty drinks, a 4-course dinner, auctions, raffles and a great band.
In 2001, the gala was introduced as part of a capital campaign to finance construction of Red Deer Hospice. Four years later in September of 2005 after much hard work, the hospice house opened its doors. Founding partners Deb Petty, Bonnie Bredo, Patti Morris and Joe Tabler came up with the idea of a gala.
The galas have proved to be among their best opportunities to educate the community about Hospice. The family members of former residents often come back in support of the place and the people who cared for their loved ones.
Lori Dufresne, Events Coordinator, says,” We’ve been successful for the past few years. We sell out every year, We’ve had a different theme starting with Dancing With the Stars for the first two years followed by Celebrity Chef for another two years and last year, we did a Funhouse theme.”
There is no charge to stay at Red Deer Hospice even if personal financial restrictions are an issue; no one is ever denied access because of money. The hospice has an agreement with AHS to fund a portion of the operating costs in terms of nursing staff. As a not-for-profit society the hospice depends primarily on donations and fundraising efforts in order to meet the annual operational budget.
Over the years the Hospice Gala has raised over 1 million dollars. Red Deer Hospice relies on the gala as it is the major fundraising event every year. Last year the event raised approximately $160,000.
The Hospice Gala is considered one of the top events each year on the city’s social calendar.
Act quickly if you want to go because there are less than 150 tickets remaining. Single tickets cost $200 and come with a $100 charitable tax receipt.
