Get ready to celebrate the third and final New Year’s Eve fundraising gala by the Bea Fisher Foundation with a new party destination theme in mind.

“In 2019, we took everyone to New York. Last year, after a gap, we were off to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. This year, we are going to capture a lot of sights and sounds from Las Vegas,” said the Foundation’s marketing and business development coordinator, Kim Crockett.

The 2023 gala campaign kicked off on Monday at a press conference, with Crockett announcing work would start Tuesday to renovate four kitchens in Bea Fisher’s 24-hour care homes for persons with developmental disabilities.

The funds for the renovations came from the $80,000 to $90,000 raised at last year’s gala.

The goal this year is to raise $100,000 to go toward some outstanding upgrades and home improvements.

“Specifically, it could be things like flooring, countertops, additional kitchen renovations— any improvements that our care homes need— that’s where the funding is going to,” explained Crockett.

“There’s always going to be things going on with 60 individuals that live in some sort of 24-hour care facility that we operate.”

Crockett says this will be the final gala as it’s run its course with organization fatigue and the realization they should reach the overall target of $250,000 for priority home improvements.

The Foundation has also moved on from its Colour Run funder last held in 2022.

“It ran for almost 10 years, but we felt it was time for a bit of a change,” said Crockett.

“Our Foundation board is starting to retool that thought a little bit and we’ll figure out what’s going to be the next big event. For this year, the big event is certainly going to be the gala.”
