On Friday, October 2, A Night in White Garden Party returned for its third year at Connon Nurseries, bringing the community together for an unforgettable evening in support of the YMCA of Central East Ontario Strong Kids Campaign.
We are thrilled to share that this year’s event raised $40,000, helping ensure children, youth, and families across our region can access YMCA programs and services regardless of their financial circumstances.
A Night in White Garden Party is a unique celebration featuring elegant white décor and attire, delicious food and beverage tastings from local vendors, live entertainment, silent auction opportunities, and memorable experiences throughout the evening. Set amidst the lush tropical surroundings of Connon Nurseries, guests enjoyed an exceptional night of community, generosity, and celebration.
“We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of our sponsors, vendors, volunteers, committee members, and guests,” said Connie Reid, Vice President, Funds Development, YMCA of Central East Ontario.
“The funds raised through this event will directly support local children and families, ensuring access to YMCA programs that build confidence, connections, and healthy communities.”
The YMCA extends sincere thanks to all sponsors, food and beverage vendors, volunteers, donors, and attendees whose generosity helped make the evening such a success.
