One of the core objectives of the Diamond Valley Youth Foundation is to create opportunities for CONNECTION within our community! We hosted the Fall Fling in 2023 and it was an amazing party and we raised $20,000 to support initiatives at the local elementary schools. This year, we are focusing (slightly) less on the fundraising aspect, and placing the emphasis on COMMUNITY CONNECTION! We are still raising money, and all proceeds will go towards the cause, however we recognize that the economy is tight right no and it is important to us to make this event feasible for all to enjoy a night out in OUR COMMUNITY!

Fall Fling '23 FUNDRAISER
2023-11-04 | Alberta
WE DID IT!!! We successfully raised $20,000 and had an incredible evening of laughter, dancing, and connecting!!!
Fundraising Goal
Our 1st goal is to raise $20,000 in net proceeds to give to the two local elementary schools: Turner Valley School and C. Ian McLaren.
This goal will help us fulfill the vision of creating small schools with big hearts and aspirations. Both schools are committed to Learning for Transfer where the students engage in projects that exhibit student agency, promote community involvement, and leave a positive footprint on our ecosystem. To date, they have built a greenhouse, bat boxes, and enhancements to the outdoor learning area. In addition, your financial support means bringing in resident artists, theatre productions, scientists, engineers and other experts to enrich the curriculum; as well as funding field trips and transportation and updating technology for the classes.
Bringing the community together for a fun night out filled with delicious food, music and dancing, silent auction, and spirits from our local Brewery’s and Distillery.
Featuring Special Guests, Local Foothills Band HAGGIS!
A tasty ‘pubadelic’ band. Your iPod on shuffle… Haggis brings the party to the party!
