To date, in addition to selling tickets, Scotiabank has donated over $140,000 to the annual signature event. With tickets already over 40 per cent sold, the diamond themed Gala is proving to be Renfrew County’s fall season’s premiere event.
“We thrive as our community thrives,” shared Branch Manager John Becvar. “The Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation’s Black & White Gala is one way for us to give back as a community bank. Our investment in the hospital helps us invest in the wellbeing of everyone in Renfrew County,” Mr. Becvar said.
Jointly announcing the sale of tickets at Scotiabank were Gala Committee Members Karen Roosen, Donna Farrell and Chairperson Lisa Edmonds.
“The Committee is very excited about our 10th annual Black & White Gala,” said Karen Roosen. “For $175 which includes a charitable tax receipt, attendees are in for a fantastic evening.
