On Saturday, September 13th, Stanley Park hosted our Annual Fundraiser in the Beveridge Pavilion, and what an unforgettable evening it was! With perfect weather setting the stage, guests enjoyed a night filled with great food, lively entertainment, and community spirit.
The highlight of the evening was the incredible performance by Howl2Go Dueling Pianos, who kept the crowd engaged and entertained with music, laughter, and fun. Alongside the entertainment, both the auction and raffles were a tremendous success, thanks to the generosity of our supporters and bidders.
This event would not have been possible without the dedication of so many. Whether you served on the Fundraising Committee, volunteered at the event, donated an auction or raffle item, sponsored the evening, attended in person, or participated from home—we are truly grateful. Your support helps us preserve the beauty of Stanley Park and ensures that it remains a safe, welcoming, and free space for the entire community to enjoy.
We’d also like to extend special thanks to grigphoto.com and our intern, Isabella Langford, for capturing the joy of the evening through their beautiful photography. You can view the full gallery of photos from the night here:
