9th Annual Royal Gala & Silent Auction

7:00 - 10:00 pm, November 07, 2007, Lethbridge Lodge

It is with pleasure that Royal LePage South Country Real Estate continues our commitment through the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation to host our 9th Annual Royal Gala at the Lethbridge Lodge on Wednesday, November 7th, 2007. All funds raised are donated to YWCA Harbour House Women's Emergency Shelter to support services for women and children. In the contract year 2006/07 YWCA Harbour House aided 437 women and 368 children in our residence, aided 1842 women and children through outreach support and received 1973 crisis calls. The funding received through Royal LePage Shelter Foundation is instrumental in helping women and children whose lives are impacted by violence.

The event is well attended by over 200 individuals and receives approximately $7,000 in donated media coverage. Over the years, the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation has raised and contributed $192,777 to YWCA HarbourHouse - Royal LePage South Country continues to donate their administrative support and agent time to this cause - making it possible for all money raised to go directly to YWCA Harbour House where it is needed most.

We are hoping we can count on your support to make this year's event as successful. In the near future, one of our volunteers may contact you to ask for a donation. This can be an item to be auctioned or an enhancemnt to the evening, such as wine or a moetary donation. Your donation directly supports the valuable work of YWCA Harbour House in dealing with the impact of family violence. Charitable receipts will be available through the YWCA Lethbridge and District.

Sincerely,

Royal LePage Shelter Foundation Committee - Lethbridge
