As a Gala, this is a formal event and a fun opportunity to dress to impress! We suggest wearing something that you would typically wear to a wedding.

Yes, a complimentary coat check will be available for your convenience.

There are no printed tickets for this event. We have a list of attendees and will welcome you at the entrance and help you find your table.

Due to the ongoing construction, parking around the Armoury may be limited.

Construction may be completed before the event, however, in case it is not, Hospice is looking into shuttle options to accommodate guests.

Additional parking is available along Colborne Street, at the Old Mill across from the Legion, as well as the parking lot between Devos Furniture and the Armoury. The Kiwanis Theatre at the Cultural Centre has an event that evening, so we ask that you please avoid use of this parking lot.

Purchases of Diamond Draw, Golden Ticket, Silent or Live Auction items may be made by cash, debit, or credit.

The bar is a cash bar and, unfortunately, there is not an ATM at the Armoury.

This year's After Party, sponsored by PIB Insurance, will keep the party going past the formal portion of the evening! Just Grin will be providing DJ services and the photo booth, and we will also have an extra late night snack for our After Party guests!

The Golden Ticket, sponsored by Sheila Young of Advanced Realty Solutions, is new to this year's Gala! Each Golden Ticket is $100 and there are only 100 tickets available. That means ticket holders have a 1 in 100 chance of winning! 
 
The prize package includes:

• The silent auction package of your choice!
• Two tickets to next year’s Hospice Benefit Gala
• The remaining prize package value in gift certificates to Gala and Auction sponsors of your choice (For example, if the winner selects a package valued at $1,200, they will receive a voucher for two 2024 Gala tickets valued at $350, and $450 in gift certificates)

Golden Tickets are on sale now and selling fast! To purchase your Golden Ticket, please call 519-354-3113 ext. 2403.

Golden Tickets are only available to Gala attendees.

The Diamond Draw is a fantastic annual tradition at the Hospice Benefit Gala. Sponsored by Mittons Jewellers in Ridgetown, the Diamond Draw is a raffle with the chance to win a .75 ct Brilliant Cut Canadian Diamond valued at $3,300!
