Love our Lou. Best post ever

Every story has an ending, and this October we will turn the last page of A Toast To You. While we will miss this tradition, we are ready to celebrate in true fairy-tale fashion with one final night of magic and meaning.

Join us on Saturday, October 4 at 5:30 p.m. at the Coast Conference Centre for an evening that includes dinner, dancing, live music, a DJ, and a silent auction. Our theme, “Once Upon a Time,” honors the power of stories and community. All proceeds go to the Journey Fund, providing trauma therapy for parents in Kamloops through BGC Kamloops.

Tickets are $130 each or $910 for a table of 8, with final headcounts needed by September 24.

This is our last toast together. Let’s make it a night where the ending feels like a beginning for families in our community.

Healing begins when we are given a safe space to share what hurts. Many parents in Kamloops carry pain that feels too heavy to name. With therapy, those feelings become lighter and life feels possible again. On October 4 at the Coast Conference Centre, the A Toast to You Gala: Once Upon a Time will raise funds for the Journey Fund, making this healing possible. Your presence at the gala helps parents find their voices and children grow up with more hope.

Only 2 days remain to secure your table for A Toast to You: Once Upon a Time and be entered into our $400 Mittz Kitchen giveaway.

When parents have the support they need to heal from trauma, their children benefit in powerful ways. A parent who is able to work through painful experiences is better equipped to be patient, present, and nurturing. This creates safer homes, stronger bonds, and a sense of security that children carry into every part of their lives.

Your table purchase directly funds trauma therapy for parents who would otherwise go without. This therapy helps break cycles of pain that pass from one generation to the next. By standing behind parents, you are helping children grow up in households where they can feel loved, understood, and supported. The ripple effect is enormous: healthier families lead to healthier schools, neighborhoods, and communities.

When you join us at the gala, you’re not only giving your guests a memorable evening of dinner, music, and celebration. You are helping shape a brighter future for families in Kamloops.

Reserve your table today and be part of creating change that lasts for generations.

Love isn’t always loud. Sometimes it looks like buying a ticket to a fundraiser and showing up with your heart wide open.

Sometimes it’s one parent saying yes to therapy because the Journey Fund made it possible.

Sometimes it’s a silent auction bid that turns into a counselling session, a calm bedtime routine, or a child finally feeling safe at home.

Healing takes work. But it also takes love. And when love is present in the form of community, kindness, and opportunity real change begins.

A Toast to You is where we gather that love and turn it into something practical and lasting.

Show up. Be part of the healing.

What does Kamloops care about?

We care about families. About giving people a fair shot. About making sure parents have what they need to show up for their children, even after life has knocked them down.

A Toast to You is built around that care.

It’s more than an event. It’s a gathering of people who believe in better outcomes, in healing that begins at home, and in showing up when it counts.

When a community says, "We care about this," things begin to shift. Doors open. Cycles break. Futures look different.

Join us this October. Bring your care, your laughter, and your people. Let's show up together.
