2007 Recipients | Gala Committee | Sponsorship

This year, once again, a large portion of the proceeds will go to our community hospital. And in keeping with our theme, the remainder will be used to support vital youth programs in west Durham. The Youth Centre, Big Brothers and Sisters of Ajax-Pickering, and WindReach Farm will share in the proceeds.

Last year’s Pickering Mayor's Gala raised more than $110,000 for charitable causes and our sponsors can take great pride in being associated with this quality gala event, and its fundraising achievement.
