Raising Spirits - October 8th 2025

Join us Wednesday, October 8, 2025 at The Pioneer on Stephen Avenue for an unforgettable evening of great food, exciting activities, and meaningful connections — all in support of mental health programs at the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation.

• 300+ guests from Calgary’s business, legal, finance, and community circles
• Largest silent auction yet — 50+ exceptional items up for bid
• DJ, surprises, and delicious catering from Spolumbos Fine Foods & Deli (graciously provided at no cost — come hungry!)

Whether you’re here to network, support a great cause, or simply enjoy an amazing night out, this event delivers.

Since 2017, Raising Spirits has raised over $430,000 for vital mental health services including the Summit: Marian & Jim Sinneave Centre for Youth Resilience, Acute at Home services, and Emerging Adults programs.

This year, our goal is to surpass $500,000 raised in total — and your ticket purchase helps get us there.

The Alberta Children’s Hospital has seen a 52% increase in children requiring inpatient mental health care. Space is limited, facilities are outdated, and young patients in crisis need more therapeutic, calming environments. Funds raised will help transform high observation rooms into youth-friendly, purpose-built spaces that reduce the time patients remain in acute distress.

We’re grateful to our event partners who make Raising Spirits possible — with a special thank-you to The Pioneer, Bow River Brewing, and Spolombo's Fine Foods & Deli.

When you attend, you’re not just enjoying a great night — you’re helping give young people the space, care, and dignity they need to heal.

🎟 Reserve your spot today — help us reach $500,000 and change lives.
