Annual dinner and auction for Headwaters Foundation coming


Guests at this year's Celebrate! Annual Dinner and Auction in support of the Headwaters Health Care Centre Foundation will have a chance to win big while showing support for their community hospital.
The event is set for April 27. New this year, a draw for a lady's white gold, sapphire and diamond pendant, valued at $2,900, is one of the big surprises of the night, the Foundation revealed.
Guests will have the opportunity to purchase Balloon Bags filled with surprises of stylish and exquisite gifts donated by local retailers. For every $20 Balloon Bag purchased, guests will be entered into a draw for this elegant piece of jewellery, donated by Foundation supporters Dr. Tom and Nancy Frater. Only 200 of these Balloon Bags will be available for sale at the gala, and the winner of the bonus jewellery draw must be in attendance to win.
The headline entertainer for the evening, Steve Patterson, will dish up his own surprise of a never-seen-before performance tailored specifically for guests of Celebrate!
“Headwaters Health Care Foundation's Dinner and Auction in 2012 was by far the best fundraising event we have ever attended,” said Councillor Richard Paterak and his wife Rose Dupont. “Lots of terrific mingling – just a wonderful evening and our guests thought so too! We're really looking forward to attending Celebrate! Dinner and Auction on April 27.”
For another element of surprise, the annual dinner committee put a new spin on silent and live auctions with the introduction an Action Auction. Only guests of Celebrate! will have the opportunity to bid on any of the 54 experiences, ranging from fun outings to exclusive, one-of-a-kind encounters, all generously donated by supporters of the Foundation.
