You’re going to eat lunch anyway… so Wednesday, October 24 between 11:30 and 1 PM help GrammaLink-Africa support their friends struggling to bring up their Grandchildren.

$18 buys you:

Chilli (Vegetarian available), Homemade Bun, Pumpkin Cupcake, C0ffee/Tea AND.. a Handmade Pottery Bowl!

It’s the 10th Annual lunch event held by GrammaLink-Africa in support of Grandmothers raising their grandchildren orphaned by HIV/AIDS in Africa. In 2008 a group of grandmothers based in Red Deer and headed up by Shirley Challoner hosted the first Chilli for a Cause event. They raised $2,200.00. In 2017 this event raised $8,000.00!

While plans for the hospital expansion move forward, healthcare doesn’t wait. Patients in our community need access to life-saving technology today, and your generosity makes that possible.

This year’s lottery will fund essential new and replacement equipment, ensuring your hospital can continue to serve the 500,000 people who rely on it. When you purchase your ticket, you’re investing in innovation, excellence, and a healthier future for Central Alberta.
