Thank you for your interest in the Kinsmen Dinner & Auction. This event is the largest single day fund raising event operated by the Kinsmen Club of Edmonton! Last year’s event raised over $24,000!
Members of the Club are approaching the Edmonton and area business community to secure donations for this year’s auction. Donations of all types are greatly appreciated and, of course, all of our donation partners are recognized during the event.
Last year’s event featured several high profile live auction items including "Live Behind the Scenes of Hockey Night in Canada", an evening for two hosted by CBC Sports Anchor Mark Connolly, a member of our club, "An Evening for Eight at The Hardware Grill", a five course dinner with wines for each course, in the private wine cellar dining room at one of Edmonton’s finest restaurants, and an autographed Bobby Orr print with him holding the Stanley Cup.
The Auction is held in support of The Kinsmen Club of Edmonton’s general fundraising activities. Last year the Club raised over $330,000 for charities and non-profit community groups in Edmonton. Some of the programs we support include:
- BBQ Canada supporting Canadian Beef producers
- Partnered with Edmonton Oilers for Heritage Classic 50/50 draw
- Support Cystic Fibrosis - nationally Kinsmen have donated millions to help research efforts
- Built and continue to operate Kinsmen Twin Ice Arenas
