As a Gala, this is a formal event and a fun opportunity to dress to impress! We suggest wearing something that you would typically wear to a wedding.

Yes, a complimentary coat check will be available for your convenience.

There are no printed tickets for this event. We have a list of attendees and will welcome you at the entrance and help you find your table.

Limited parking is available in The Armoury parking lot in front of the venue.

Additional parking is available along Colborne Street, at the Old Mill across from the Legion, as well as the parking lot between Devos Furniture and the Armoury.

If you have limited mobility and require accessible parking, please let us know and we will reserve a space for you in the Armoury lot.

Purchases of Diamond Draw, Golden Ticket, Silent or Live Auction items may be made by cash, debit, or credit.

The bar is a cash bar and, unfortunately, there is not an ATM at the Armoury.

This year's After Party will keep the party going past the formal portion of the evening with a live DJ, photo booth, and an extra late night snack!

The Golden Ticket, sponsored by Kent & Essex Mutual Insurance, is back for another year! Each Golden Ticket is $100 and there are only 100 tickets available. That means ticket holders have a 1 in 100 chance of winning! 
 
The $2,000 prize package includes:

• The silent auction package of your choice!
• Two tickets to next year’s Hospice Benefit Gala
• The remaining prize package value in gift certificates to Gala and Auction sponsors of your choice (For example, if the winner selects a package valued at $1,200, they will receive a voucher for two 2025 Gala tickets valued at $400, and $400 in gift certificates)

Golden Tickets will be available to purchase soon and are expected to sell out fast.

Golden Tickets are only available to Gala attendees.

The Diamond Draw is a fantastic annual tradition at the Hospice Benefit Gala. Sponsored by Mittons Jewellers in Ridgetown, the Diamond Draw is a raffle with the chance to win a  Canadian Diamond!

Tickets are available for purchase at the Gala from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and are one for $20 or three for $50.
