NEWS RELEASE
UPPER GRAND DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD
*************************
A semester of preparation and just weeks to pull off a major event from start to finish, a group of youth in Guelph are turning their ambition into a large scale charity gala that will take place next month.
Students enrolled in the Upper Grand District School Board’s Beyond Borders program are in the midst of planning Ambition, a charity gala that will feature inspiring performances, great food and a strong sense of community.
The students are responsible for every aspect of the event, from marketing the event and booking entertainment, to securing corporate sponsors and staying on budget. Ambition will raise funds for three causes: Mount Sinai Hospital’s fetal unit for Twin-toTwin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), Sick Kids Hospital, and support for Syrian newcomer families who have settled in our communities – all causes that are close to the hearts of Beyond Borders staff and students.
Event details:
Date: Saturday Jan. 13, 2018
Time: 7 p.m.
Location: River Run Centre, 35 Woolwich St., Guelph
