The Children’s Foundation of Muskoka (CFM) is excited to have you join us at our 22nd Annual Fundraising Gala. This year’s event is shaping up to be another incredible evening, featuring a photo booth, a dance with a live DJ, cocktail hour, hors d’oeuvres, and a delicious 3-course meal. Thanks to our sponsors we also have a Live Auction, Raffle and Silent Auction.
With $88,000 raised at last year’s Gala, we were able to provide grants to under-resourced children and youth in Muskoka to participate in sports and recreational activities, take part in the arts, go to camp, receive mental wellness support, access basic necessities like a bed, or pursue post-secondary education.
As the cost of living continues to rise, the support we provide is increasingly important. Please join us in making the Gala our biggest fundraiser of the year once again!
Our Silent Auction will be online this year and will be open for bidding on November 9th through until 10:30pm November 14th. You do not need to be attending the Gala to take part in the auction, share this opportunity to support our community with friends and family!!
By bidding on an item in the silent auction you will be helping The Children's Foundation of Muskoka continue to build happy, healthy children in Muskoka.
