91原创 Charitable Nights鈥� recent fundraiser has hit upon a successful recipe that will help 10 local charities.

Organized by the 91原创-based Fairhaven group and local charities, the dinner and entertainment event saw the participation of more than 100 foodies and music lovers.

Kim Sadler, catering manager at Fairhaven group, shared that the venue could accommodate more people, but due to COVID-related restrictions, a limited number of people were allowed. The first of the three music events series was hosted at George Preston Recreation Centre on Jan. 29.

Coming up next is Valentine鈥檚 Day celebration with a Rat Pack tribute performance on Feb. 12.

Shannon Todd-Booth spoke to the crowd on behalf of the 91原创 Hospice Society, and other board members and guests of the society attended in support of them.

Charities are struggling to find ways to fundraise since the pandemic started.

Karen Long said groups such as hers, the 91原创 Volunteer Bureau, are grateful to Fairhaven for creating this new opportunity.

鈥淭hey took a big chance on putting the dinner theatre series together and from the response received from the first event, it looks like they have a success on their hands. Musicians are back to work, 10 local charities benefited and guests enjoyed an evening of great food and entertainment. All around, a big win for everyone,鈥� Long said.

The amount of money raised through the fundraiser is yet to be determined, said Sadler. However, she confirmed that the funds raised from all three events would be evenly split between the 10 participating charities. In total, 110 tickets were sold for the first event, and Sadler added that the feedback was 91原创enal.
