“We have been getting calls and emails about which
sports and sparkle celebrities are attending,” says Melanie Gardin, President
of the association. “I can tell you that hockey’s favourite father,
professional football players, and Miss Canada 2012 are just a few of the
special guests who will be signing autographs and posing for photos at the
event.”
Dedicated volunteers have been planning this one of a
kind occasion since early 2013 and the anticipation is building as the event
draws near. Superbowl Champ Luke Wilson was recently added to the celebrity list.
“We are optimistic that “Sports & Sparkle – The
Main Event” will become our largest fundraising event,” says
Gardin. “Funds raised will support local programs and services for families and
children, and $10 from each ticket sold will support the BIAWE program, Helmets on Kids. We hope to create
more awareness about concussions and educate the public about who to call when
they need help with a brain injury diagnosis and treatment.”
“Brain Injury is the
leading killer and disabler of people under the age of 45 and is usually
predictable and preventable,” adds
Laura Kay, Executive Director for BIAWE. “The Brain
Injury Association of Windsor & Essex County is committed to enhancing the
lives of residents of Windsor and Essex County affected by acquired brain
injury through education, awareness and support. ”
“Sports & Sparkle – The
Main Event” takes place at the Caboto Club with a meal to
remember, sports demonstrations and a silent auction and more! This
evening has all the makings of a gala with fine food, entertainment and décor
with options on your attire (sports and/or sparkle) and interactive games
for prizes.
Picture walking into the venue with cheerleaders
cheering, drummers drumming and people dressed in team jerseys and others in
semi-formal attire – the Pep Rally atmosphere is sure to
set the mood. Local band, The Brilliancy, plays after dinner, followed by
dancing with DJ Mr. D.
As well, the “Sports & Sparkle” auction will
likely be one of the most memorable parts of the evening along with a signed
Gordie Howe jersey up for grabs!
The $85 tickets are expected to sell out quickly for
this one of a kind event, so be sure to purchase yours early.
