This year, the Children’s Hospital Foundation hosted their 11th Annual Ice Crystal Gala, and Alair Homes Winnipeg was beyond thrilled to donate over $7,000 to a charity that brings hope and healing to families across Manitoba. Our goal is to make it a priority to give back to the community around us, so when the Foundation approached us to join the list of donors this year, we knew that they would be a perfect fit.

Alair Homes donated a Child’s Bedroom Makeover to the auction, which we were very excited to organize and facilitate. We partnered with a number of local vendors and planned a perfect suite of upgrades that any child (and parent!) would be excited to add to their home. The makeover includes everything from paint and interior design direction, to room furnishings and window coverings – a prize valued at over $14,000. We can’t wait to see a dream come to life as we work with the winner of the renovation package to bring a child a brand new bedroom!

The Gala was a huge success, and our team enjoyed an amazing night of inspiration and new friendships. We raised over $7,000 with our Bedroom Makeover silent auction prize, raising the second highest donation of the night! It was an incredible feeling being part of such a special tradition, and to know that families from Winnipeg and beyond will be able to receive the care and support that they need during difficult times.

The Children’s Hospital Foundation is a long-standing pillar of hope for families in the midst of tragedy, committing millions of dollars each year to fund medical research and support programs for children and families in need of a cure. We’ve all experienced or been connected to those experiencing the difficulty of having a close family member go through an illness, and this is only made harder when it is a child who is suffering. Our hearts go out to families who are spending the holidays in hospital rooms, and we hope that joining the efforts of the CHF will allow us to be a small part of bringing joy during this season.

Alair Homes Winnipeg is proud to join a long list of generous donors to this incredibly important organization. We eagerly anticipate many more years of partnership with Children’s Hospital Foundation to bring hope to families and kids around Winnipeg.
