Quest fundraiser set for February 11, 2012
Mark your calendar! The Friends of Quest Education Foundation will host the Fifth Annual Quest Auction and Dinner on Saturday February 11th. This fundraiser for Oilfields High School's award-winning Quest program will take place at the Flare ‘N Derrick Community Hall in Turner Valley. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
The event will feature a hearty and delicious dinner prepared by Chef Tim Babey of Millarville Catering, entertainment by Southern Alberta's rising musical stars “The Travelling Mabels”, both a live and silent auction – including a dessert auction just in time for Valentine's Day!
Raising funds for students' futures
Oilfields School has received the Ken Spencer Award for innovation in teaching and learning from the Canadian Education Association (CEA) for the Quest program, which enhances the delivery of high school education. Incorporating wilderness adventure and service learning, Quest students are challenged to unleash their own excellence and discover how much they have to offer others. It's the experience of a lifetime and your support can help make this happen!
As this program exceeds the scope of funding provided by Alberta Education, funds raised will help support program elements such as weekly adventure learning, service projects that give back to the community and a mid-winter expedition. Quest students will also have the chance to experience a year-end kayaking trip on the west coast or a canoeing trip.
Event organizers are soliciting auction items, both big and small, such as outdoor gear (fishing, hiking, skiing), vacation packages, sports tickets / memorabilia and services.
Tickets are $30 and are only available in advance of the event until February 3rd; no tickets will be available at the door. To purchase a ticket or donate an auction item, please call 403-938-4973 or email: gauzerc@fsd38.ab.ca.
