Ice Gala Success $7664 Raised for Salvation Army's Fernie Family Services




Ice Gala Success $7664 Raised for Salvation Army's Fernie Family Services

Dazzling in hues of blue and sparking in diamonds ICE Gala hosted by Freyja Lifestyle Fashion and The Clubhouse at the Fernie Golf and Country Club raised $7664 for the Fernie Salvation Army’s Family Services. Other money is still trickling in from the evening to push the total higher. Aiming to raise $5000, you can say organizers Chantel Souliere and Lindsay Adams are absolutely blown away with the support and generosity of the people of Fernie.

“This was our second year getting this gala together, and this year turned out to just magical. All the volunteers and Clubhouse staff were absolute angels in creating this evening, I’m just blown away”, says Chantel, “the party goers were beaming right up to the very end on a raging dance floor, it was awesome!”.

The event was an absolute sell out, extra money was also raised through a raffle draw that evening and the bar proceeds from the Clubhouse. “The staff at the Clubhouse also donated all their tips from the evening which gave the total an extra $686. Also, that evening Eric Johnson from the East Kootenay Community Credit Union came up and told us we could count on an extra $250 from them”, said Lindsay.

Many thanks to all the volunteers who made the evening possible.
