Join us for a night of enchantment and elegance at the 5th Annual Heart of the Community Gala & Auction

 

The Rotary Club of Cranbrook’s 5th annual Heart of the Community Gala & Auction takes place on April 26, 2025, at the Colombo Lodge in Cranbrook. This year, we invite you to step into the vibrant world of The Big Easy – A New Orleans Soiree. It’s an evening where glamour meets philanthropy.

Come and enjoy an exquisite dinner specially prepared for the occasion, enjoy live and silent auctions with tons of great items to bid on, and dance the night away to the sounds of live music. Funds raised at this special evening support local community initiatives and international projects that make a difference in the lives of those in need. Dress in your semi-formal best, and feel free to embrace theme with your attire. Whether you opt for bold and festive or elegantly understated, your presence will contribute to the night’s magic.

Your participation supports the Rotary Club of Cranbrook’s longstanding commitment to service. Since 1922, the Rotary Club has proudly contributed to projects like Rotary Park, McKinnon Park, Idlewild Park, Rotary Scott Villa, and many others, all made possible with your support.

Let’s come together to celebrate community, culture and compassion in an unforgettable evening for a meaningful cause.

Our Rotary Club has been at the heart of the community since 1922. In June of 2022, we celebrated 100 years of service in Cranbrook. Through the dedicated efforts of community minded volunteers and supporters like you, over those years Rotary has provided the vision and leadership to complete many of our community legacy projects, including:

  • Rotary Park, including the Children’s Spray Park, Band Stand, and washrooms
  • McKinnon Park
  • Children’s zipline & playground equipment and Paved Ridge Trail with an outdoor classroom at Idlewild Park
  • Rotary Scott Villa – affordable housing
  • Annual Colombo Lodge Christmas Dinner – 400+ seniors
  • Rotary Way – a walking/cycling trail through Cranbrook
  • The Rotary Clocktower
  • Most recently our Centennial Project- Phase 1 of the Moir Park walking/cycling trail

In addition, we also provide financial assistance to dozens of charitable groups that provide hope and optimism for children, seniors, and those less fortunate in our community. There are too many to list, but a sampling includes: Angel Flight East Kootenay, Scouts, Canadian Mental Health Association, Senior’s Centre, Cranbrook Public Library, Cranbrook History Centre, Salvation Army.
