The first Annual Sheep River Health Trust Friends 4 Wellness Charity Concert held on Saturday, November 6th at the Foothills Centennial Centre in Okotoks was a smashing success. “It was an evening of great food, music and entertainment, all for the cause of health in the Foothills,” the SRHT said in a recent press release.
Since 1994, the Sheep River Health Trust, formerly known as the Oilfields/Okotoks Health Foundation, has raised over $2.5 million for health-related programs, services and equipment urgently needed in our local area. Last year alone, the Trust raised $300,000 to help deliver optimal health care to our communities.
The event was held to support local health care by enjoying a casual and fun evening out with Canada's finest individual performers. With support from the Beneath the Arch Concert Series and local businesses, the Trust was pleased to secure the popular music group Lunch At Allen's. The concert, which was emceed by friend and supporter of the Trust John Fraser, attracted an audience of 325.
Lunch At Allen's is an extraordinary musical collaboration of internationally renowned artists, Murray McLauchlan, Cindy Church, Marc Jordan and Ian Thoma, who perform together as a band. The group's stage show forms an intimate and humorous performance by some of Canada's finest individual performers.
Proceeds from the event will go towards the purchase of an IV Treatment Chair for the Okotoks Urgent Care Centre.
