Denim and Diamonds Gala Marks 30 Years of Philanthropy

The annual Denim and Diamonds Gala is set to take place on November 1, 2023, at the Hellenic Cultural Centre in Windsor Essex, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of the Circle of Seven charity. This event stands as one of the organization’s most significant fundraisers, having raised a remarkable $5 million for local charities over its history.

Celebrating Community Support

The gala invites attendees to don their finest blue jean attire while enjoying a gourmet buffet, a selection of cocktails, and live music. Rob Agnew, one of the original seven founding members of the Circle of Seven, expressed enthusiasm for this year’s event. “Tickets are, again this year, $125. And you get a lot for the money, believe me,” he stated. “From live music to great food, a lot of fun silent auctions, live auctions. We have people that do their Christmas shopping on our auctions.” Agnew mentioned that he has even purchased toys for children specifically for the auction table.

Proceeds from the gala will directly support local charities that often do not receive primary funding from government sources. This initiative underscores the importance of community-driven support for organizations that play a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life within Windsor Essex.

Engaging the Community

The Denim and Diamonds Gala has become a staple in the Windsor Essex social calendar, attracting supporters dedicated to making a difference in their community. The event not only provides a platform for local charities to gain visibility but also fosters a sense of unity among attendees who share a commitment to philanthropy.

With a mix of entertainment and fundraising opportunities, the gala offers silent and live auctions where guests can bid on a wide range of items. This year’s event promises to be both enjoyable and impactful, ensuring that the spirit of giving continues to thrive in the region.

As the Circle of Seven commemorates its three decades of charitable work, the Denim and Diamonds Gala stands as a testament to the collective effort within the community to support those in need. Attendees can look forward to an evening filled with fun, connection, and a chance to contribute to meaningful causes.
