New Year's Eve another big one in Edmonton

One of the most anticipated events in the area is the Edmonton International New Year's Eve Gala, which has been called the "hottest New Year's Eve ticket in town." All proceeds from the event will go to support the Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation. The foundation raises money from the public for medical equipment and research funding to the hospital, among other things.

The big event of the evening will be a performance by Cirque de Soleil Style Variety Shows. In addition, there will be a cocktail reception, a gourmet dinner dancing until early the next morning, a silent auction and everyone in attendance will receive party favors to ring in the New Year. It definitely sounds like it will be a great way to celebrate New Year's Eve while raising money for a worthwhile cause.

No doubt Edmonton businesses will be donating items for the silent auction. Those companies can further help the cause by working with local printing companies to inform their customers and employees about the event. A one-page flyer could be designed and printed with details about both the donation and the event itself. This is likely to encourage more people to attend this worthwhile event and raise more much-needed funds for Stollery Children's Hospital.

The Edmonton International New Year's Eve Gala will take place in the Beverly Hills Ballroom of the Fantasyland Hotel on December 31 from 7:00 pm - 3:00 am. Tickets are $135 and attire is black tie. For more information,call 780-486-9506.
