The Night Before The Night Before Christmas

In Perth Food Bank, Perth Ontario Events, The Night Before The Night Before Christmas   On December 13, 2010   Add A Comment

The Night Before The Night Before ChristmasThe Annual Night Before The Night Before Christmas fundraiser is set for December 18th and celebrates the season and supports Perth’s local food bank!

This Christmas fundraising dance will take place at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall (26 Beckwith Street) in Perth, beginning at 7:30 pm. This popular annual tradition features great local entertainment and is a must-attend holiday event for music lovers and supporters of the Perth and District Food Bank.

Hosted this year by well-known local band Tell Mama (who will also be performing at O’Reilly’s December 17th) and managed by local businesses OnCouRSS Web Solutions and Zen Healing and Restoration Clinic, the theme of this year’s dance is “Local Sustainability”.

The holiday season can be a particularly difficult time for low-income families and individuals. Statistics show that the majority of Food Bank users are children and the elderly. So what do you say — Come support this local charity and have a blast while doing so!

Tickets, which are available at Shadowfax in Perth, are $20 each plus a donation of food or cash to the Food Bank. Without a donation to the Food Bank, tickets are $25 each. Pledge $10 a month and get in for free plus a donation of food or $5 at the door. Pledge $15 a month and get in for free with no extra donation at the door. Pledges can be made online at the event and the Food Bank website, in person at Shadowfax or in person at the door.
