Mark your calendars for April 11, as the Taber Charity Auction returns to the Community Centre for this popular annual event. This community tradition supports local community groups and emergency services like STARS Air Ambulance and HALO Air Ambulance.

The Taber Charity Auction is a celebration of community spirit, generosity, and the power of coming together for a good cause. Local residents and businesses always step up to donate an incredible array of items, from fishing trips and sides of beef to tools and unique experiences like cooking lessons. Whether you’re looking for practical items or one-of-a-kind treasures, there’s something for everyone!

The event is wheelchair accessible and includes a meal for purchase, making it a welcoming and inclusive gathering for all. Attendees can look forward to an evening of lively bidding, delicious food, and the satisfaction of knowing their contributions directly benefit the community.

Proceeds from the auction are carefully allocated to projects and initiatives that align with the event’s mandate: supporting free, community-focused endeavours. Past donations have helped fund the construction of the town’s spray park, the pump track, and other vital local projects. This year, the funds will continue to make a meaningful impact, addressing requests from the community and ensuring that Taber remains a vibrant and supportive place to live.

The Taber Charity Auction is more than just an event—it’s a testament to the generosity and heart of Southern Alberta. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this incredible tradition. Join the cause on April 11 at the Community Centre and help make a difference in the lives of those around you.

Viewing starts at 4 p.m., with dinner at 5 p.m. and the live auction commences at 6 p.m.
