Recap: EAC Holiday Gala

Gia Bantoc

What a magical Friday evening at the Eastern ARIDO Community Holiday Gala! The evening felt like stepping back in time with everyone dressed beautifully, and the room filled with energy, laughter, and conversations! 

You can check out the photos below.

A huge thank you to the generous sponsors for their unwavering support. This event would not have been possible without you. 

The EAC would also like to thank everyone who took part in and donated to the silent auction. Your contributions will make a meaningful impact to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), the recipient of this year’s proceeds.  

A special thank you goes to the Algonquin College BID student volunteers and to everyone who worked behind the scenes. Your hard work and dedication helped bring every detail of this celebration to life. 

This gala was a wonderful way to wrap up the year, and has helped foster the spirit of community, connection, and collaboration that defines Eastern ARIDO. Events like this remind us of the strength of our design community and the inspiration we draw from one another. 

Happy Holidays, and thank you for making our final event of the year truly unforgettable. We look forward to celebrating with you again next year!

Thank you to our sponsors!
