Premier fundraiser gives hope, inspires change and
celebrates generosity
People in the City of Vaughan proudly rise to the
occasion to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Throughout the past six years, the Mayor’s Gala – together with the Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua Annual Charity Golf
Classic – has raised more than $3.3 million to help more than 100
not-for-profit organizations providing
essential services to the community. Each year, the events bring about a
renewed spirit of generosity and an outpouring of compassion.
Canadian
music star and Juno Award winner Jully Black will headline the Mayor’s Gala
this year which is being held at the Terrace
Banquet Centre at 1680 Creditstone Rd. Known for her explosive live performances that showcase her unique
and powerful voice, Black has a keen ability to engage audiences of all ages
and backgrounds.
As
Vaughan marks its 25th year as a city, the
theme for this year’s Gala – Making Modern History – is inspired by the City’s silver
anniversary and highlights the opportunity to celebrate successes, pay tribute
to the past and look forward to the future.
