Charity Ball is an annual formal event that is organized by the committee with all the proceeds from the event being donated to a chosen charity every year in the local community. This year’s charity is HopeSpring Cancer Support Center. This local charity provides a variety of programs and services for people affected by cancer; either as sufferers’, survivors or as family and friends. This is a wonderful charity that offers a range of courses, workshops, seminars, gentle exercise, relaxation therapies, and information nights for people in the community. They provide individual and group support, a free wig boutique, and a resource centre. The Charity Ball committee’s goal this year is to provide this wonderful charity with financial resources in order to keep these worthwhile services running and to reach more people in the community dealing with this disease.

Promotions Executive Daliah Hijazi expresses, “Charity Ball is a great occasion to get dressed up and enjoy an evening out with friends. It's a different environment than many of the other events that take place at Laurier. HopeSpring Cancer Support Centre takes huge steps in providing support to everyone who has trouble dealing with cancer. With a dinner, dance and silent auction, Charity Ball will be an unforgettable evening where Laurier students will come together and show their support for HopeSpring.”
