What is the Free the Spirit Festival?
It’s a celebration! We are inviting all of the people we support, their families, our staff and volunteers and their families and the greater community to raise awareness of the wonderful work of St.Amant throughout the year. The main Festival component is a Walk to raise funds for St.Amant, the John and Bonnie Buhler Reflective Gardens we will have games, music, activities and prizes and snacks for the whole family.
The Free the Spirit Festival will be held on September 21, 2013 from 10am to 2pm in the John and Bonnie Buhler Reflective Gardens, at St.Amant.
The Festival is free for all to attend! Donations are welcomed.
How can you help?
This year, we are bringing back the walk component to our Festival. Participants will leave from the John and Bonnie Buhler Reflective Gardens at St.Amant and travel along River Road, returning back to St.Amant for an afternoon of fun and entertainment.
Participants will collect pledges to support their walk. Those who raise $100 or more will receive a free event gift. The prize for top individual fundraiser will be a $300 Walmart gift card and the prize for the top fundraising team will be a $500 gift card to St. Vital Centre. You can collect pledges on a paper pledge form, or you can create your own fundraising website for free.
Want to get started? Download your pledge form HERE or create your own free fundraising page online HERE.
