Join Friends of We Care as we partake
in an evening under the big top in support
of sending kids with disabilities to camp.
The Friends of We Care Foundation is a membership
based organization that raises money to provide
accessible summer camp experiences to kids with
disabilities. Since its inception in 1983, Friends of We
Care has raised over $18,500,000 and has grown its
membership base to 84 foodservice industry
companies. Our unique mandate ensures that
membership fees cover the operating costs of the
organization so that 100% of money raised at all of its
14 events across the country, goes directly to sending
kids with disabilities to camp. With its incredible
support base, Friends of We Care continues to be
Easter Seals’ largest single-time donor as well as
continuing to lead in Canada’s top 10% of fundraising
nonprofits in the country. We welcome you to join us
on the evening of May 2, 2015 as we celebrate your
hard work and effort and the many kids we have sent
to camp over the years!
Valet your car and enter the big top to experience a
night at a vintage circus. Don’t be shy, step right up
and experience the sights and smells of unique chef
tasting stations complete with wine pairings. Indulge
yourself in the tasty offerings and roam the big top to
explore the many silent auction prizes and witness the
best of the lot in our ‘Favourite Things’ closed bidding
section. The action continues as guests step into the
dining hall for a gourmet dinner experience and circus
entertainment. As the dinner and show wraps, guests
are invited back to the big top area to explore the
carnival grounds and immerse themselves in a world
of circus fun. Partake in the games and activities and
explore the snack stations for classic carnival treats. But
the night doesn’t end there! Join Simply Grand as they
take to the stage playing songs that will keep you
dancing all night long.
