Thousands of dollars will be raised this weekend in support of local children with special needs.
The inaugural Gala for the Kids takes place at the Chatham Armoury Saturday night, raising money for the Children’s Treatment Centre of Chatham-Kent.
The black-tie event features a three-course dinner, live entertainment, and both a live and silent auction.
All proceeds support specialized equipment, healthcare services, mental health services, therapeutic recreation, music therapy, pool programs and other critical services not covered by government funding.
