In a news release, the YWCA stated, “The support, hard work and incredible dedication of the entire Royal LePage Lethbridge team over the past 25 years has made this annual event one that you don’t want to miss! We can’t thank the Royal LePage Team enough for all they have done and contributed to our organization and to our Harbour House Emergency Shelter over the past two and a half decades.”

Over the year, the gala has raised funds for various groups, including Harbour House Emergency Shelter, Hestia Youth Homes, Safe Visitation and the YWCA’S Amethyst Project.

As part of the new gala, a silent auction will be ongoing from Friday, November 24 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, November 28. A live auction will begin at 9 p.m. on Tuesday, November 28 during the gala.
