Senators
Black, Red &
Gold Gala

With Full Hearts, We Thank You

On behalf of the Senators Community Foundation our heartfelt gratitude to the community of 600+ attendees who joined together to make a difference in the lives of children and youth in the Ottawa-Gatineau region. 

 With the support of the Senators community, we have been able to provide greater access to care, support and the magic of sports, like hockey, to children and youth who need our support. We could not have done this without our sponsors, supporters, donors, community members and committed volunteers. 

 The moment of the night was the transformational 2 million gift from Kyle & Rachel Braatz which will directly improve the lives of children at CHEO with 1 million being directed to the Griffin Bell Endowment Fund to support underfunded pediatric cancer research in our region and 1 million to the Kids These Days campaign. 

“We are honoured that Kyle and Rachel would trust the Senators Community Foundation to distribute these funds to the causes that mean so much to them,” said Jacqueline Belsito, president of the Senators Community Foundation. “This level of commitment they are showing in our community is something that is admirable. And these types of significant donations truly help the Senators Community Foundation make a massive impact in our city.”

One thing is assured, we can do amazing things when we come together!
