Guatemala Gala

We raised funds alongside the Semiahmoo Peninsula Rotaract club and the Fraser Valley Rotaract club for the Rotaract District 5050 international service trip to Guatemala in August 2019!

There was a silent auction, toonie tosses, lottery board and so much more fun was had. If you were able to make it out to our fundraiser we hope you had a wonderful time.

It was a magical night! The turnout for our gala was absolutely amazing and it was such a successful night! Congratulations to our winners of the toonie toss, lottery board, The $400 Calvin Klein watch won during our heads or tails game & all the bidders for our silent auction that got to go home with amazing prizes such as 2 club seats for a Canucks game, 4 BC Lions tickets, Cobs Bread for a year & so much more!

Thank you to all that came out to support this event! It would not have been able to be such a success without you all!
