HUSH GALA

OCTOBER 21, 2023

Cerebral Palsy Alberta held its first gala in 2007 in an effort to raise funds and awareness for individuals within the disability community. With the success of the gala, it quickly became an annual event. Each year our guests look forward to a new and exciting theme and can count on great entertainment and spectacular chef-inspired menus prepared by local artisan chefs. The Gala never disappoints and has successfully raised much-needed funds for the CPAA’s programs and services.  This fundraiser would not be possible without our countless volunteers, supporters, donors, and sponsors. If you would like to participate as a sponsor, donor or volunteer, please contact: 

Cindy Turnquist at 403 219 3611 or via email

 

​The HUSH Gala embraces a different theme each year and will be celebrated at a secret location that will only be revealed to our guests as clues and details are slowly released.  Enjoy a sparkling wine & appetizer reception, time-honoured chef-created gourmet meal, exciting entertainment and the opportunity to bid on fabulous live and silent auction items.
