The Gala began in 2008 and is the brainchild of a group of community members whose vision, creativity and countless volunteer hours created what has become one of the Alberni Valley’s most popular and coveted social events! The founding members of the group continue to lead the Gala Committee and are an integral part of our fundraising activities.
The Black Ty Gala is a spectacular event that includes entertainment, cocktail reception, gourmet dinner, silent and live auctions, and an evening of dancing.
Businesses and individuals from across Vancouver Island contribute exceptional items for our live and silent auctions. Items include fine art, wine, gift certificates, major sport and recreation equipment, airline travel and luxury hotel stays.
Details of our next Black Ty Gala will be posted as they become available.
Sponsorships, cash contributions and donated items are eligible for tax receipts.
