Waterloo Region Family Network’s annual signature fundraising event, Evening of Elegance, is a chance for our community of supporters to come together for a social evening of connection, dining and merriment. Each year, WRFN family stories and experiences are shared, dedicated volunteers are honoured, and guests have participated in silent auctions and raffles.
In 2022, WRFN hosted its seventh annual Evening of Elegance event, its first in-person event since 2019. While not the typical format, in 2021, a virtual event was held where families and supporters had the opportunity to try a virtual cooking class with The Culinary Studio!
Our event in 2023 marked our return to a mix and mingle event without any Covid-19 restrictions. We celebrated with a live performance from the musical trio, Tre Gatte, a special presentation from Chantal Huinink, and an interactive photobooth for guests.
On Friday, April 19, 2024, WRFN hosted our ninth Evening of Elegance, for the third year at St. George Banquet Hall. Highlights from 2024 included a special presentation and musical performance from Becky Verdun, and a great selection of prizes at our silent auction table!
