Over 500 people jammed into the Palomino Room at Stampede Park on May 8th to raise a glass and hand to support upland habitat in southern Alberta.
The auction started with the Great 8 and the selling of 8 KAILANI Coolers, one of which had a winning ticket in it for a Rizinni EM 20 gauge donated by The Calgary Shooting Centre. This was quickly followed by the auctioning of the Chairman’s Trip. The highlight of the live auction was the 2024 Toyota Tundra 4×4 that was driven into the room and sat next to the stage. In total, there were 27 live, 100 silent auction and a number of high-end raffle items. Congratulations to all of the winners and thank you to our sponsors and those who donated items to make this dinner a success!
Special thanks to our guest speaker Rebecca Schulz, Minister of Environment and Protected Areas, for her well-received address. We extend our gratitude to Honorary Chair, Glen Rumpel for his commitment and support and for making this one of our best dinners to date. Thank you to President Scott Price, the board of directors, our sponsors and donors, and the great volunteers who did an excellent job in running the dinner.
