REGINA — A sold-out fundraiser supper at Mosaic Place on March 31 to support Ukraine helped the City of Moose Jaw and Spectra Venue Management Services raise $5,390, blowing away organizers’ expectations.
“We are extremely happy with the success of the fundraiser dinner,” said Mayor Clive Tolley. “The City of Moose Jaw and surrounding area stepped up in a big way to support Ukraine, selling out both the seated dinner portion and the take-out portion of the event.”
“The success of this event would not have been possible without the tremendous support of our ticket purchasers or our event sponsors,” said Ryan MacIvor, general manager of Spectra Venue Management at Mosaic Place. “Whether purchasing tickets, bidding on auction items, and even making additional donations, the generosity was truly amazing and we cannot thank them enough.”
The funds will now be donated to the Canadian Red Cross Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal.
The City of Moose Jaw and Spectra highlighted the event’s sponsors and thanked them for making supper possible. Sponsors include Lucky Bastard Distillery, Lion’s Creek, Tunnels of Moose Jaw, Temple Gardens Mineral Spa, Quality Inn Hotel, Comfort Inn Hotel, Moose Jaw Co-op, Moose Jaw Warriors, Safeway, SaskTix, Moose Jaw Exhibition and Knight Hyundai.
The City of Moose Jaw and Spectra remind residents that Moose Jaw’s two Rotary clubs are co-hosting a special Ukrainian supper on Friday, April 29, to raise funds for Ukrainian refugees in Poland. Tickets are $30 and are available either through SaskTix.ca or at the Mosaic Place box office.
