A Night for Venezuela would not have been possible without the incredible support of our community.

To our dedicated volunteers, thank you for your time, energy, and kindness. Every task, big or small, helped make this evening a success.

To the incredible Latin and local business owners who generously donated silent auction items, thank you for believing in this cause and for helping us raise vital funds for the Canadian Red Cross Venezuela Earthquakes Appeal.

And finally, thank you to YOU.

Whether you shared our event, attended, placed a bid, made a donation, volunteered, or encouraged others to join us, every act of generosity made a difference.
