CFN 6th annular Fundraiser Celebrating Diversity
After a three-year pandemic pause, CFN’s annual fundraiser is back, this time bigger and better than ever! CFN invites you to join us on Saturday, May 27th on the 54th floor of the Bow Tower for our 6th annual fundraiser to celebrate the city of Calgary, its kaleidoscope of culture and diversity, and the undeniable potential each and every Calgarian holds.
An array of live musical and cultural performances, as well as fun-filled activities, a silent auction packed with great deals from across the city, a photo booth, a 50-50 draw, raffles, some great food from our very own EthniCity Catering, a cash bar, plus another surprise or two, not to mention partying at one of the most amazing venues in all of YYC with views for days to match, makes the cost of admission a steal.
Come help us build community, have fun and most of all, work towards the Calgary we imagine and strive for each day – a community that values diversity, in which people of all backgrounds find and create opportunities to fulfill their dreams.
