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.

This year, every dollar raised powers the Diamond Valley Youth Foundation’s “No Kid Left Behind” program.

We believe every child deserves access to programs, resources, and opportunities, no matter what their family is going through.
One cookie. Real impact. Right here at home in Diamond Valley, Alberta. 💛
