Our annual Christmas Party and Fund Raiser is

at Moody Middle School
3115 St John’s Street, Port Moody
in the Gymnasium/Auditorium
Note: For the schedule of Showings for the event, please scroll down.
Please plan to attend our annual Christmas Party and Fund Raiser and bring your family and friends for a most enjoyable afternoon with our raffle draw, silent auction, bake sale, food and drink, and of course, wonderful entertainment.
Get a jump on your Christmas baking and shopping!
Admission is by donation. (We hope to pay for the facility rental so we can put 100% of revenues from the Raffle Tickets and the Silent Auction towards our Scholarship Fund.)
Bake Sale and Concession:
The Bake Sale and Concession at last year’s event was a HUGE success. Thanks to all those bakers who participated last year, your efforts were thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed (especially those that got their Christmas baking done by you at the Bake Sale table!).
There is a sign-up sheet in the School lobby for baking items or you can contact Amanda Lewin directly at a-lewin@shaw.ca to let her know you will be donating some wonderful yummy baked goods to share! Thank you!!!!
Silent Auction:
If you or your company has anything you wish to donate, please contact Karen Gill directly at karenjgill@shaw.ca describing the item and its approximate retail value. ALL donations are greatly appreciated and we thank you!
If you know of a company or individual who you think may wish to donate to us, please ask at the office for a letter to give them. Thank you.
All donations are acknowledged at the auction and in the souvenir program for the year-end production. (We also welcome display advertising for our year-end production program.) All our scholarship recipients personally write letters of thanks given to donors thanking them for their donation.
Our scholarship fund is crucial. While our taxes support high level sports programs and facilities in our community, arts training is instead taxed!
Your Guidebook gives detailed criteria for scholarships which are for dedicated students of all disciplines aged nine and over, and Grade I and above R.A.D. program students.
Huge thanks to the parent volunteers who have already been working so hard to make the Holiday Party Fund Raiser a success. If you are interested in contributing with your time and/or ideas to the fund raising efforts for the School, please advise us in the office. All help is greatly appreciated!
We hope you enjoy this day and thank you in advance for your support of our young performers!
