Join us to commemorate ACWS’ 40th Anniversary by Marking Milestones and Igniting Change!
As ACWS’s signature fundraising event, Gifts of Hope raises crucial funds to support our programs and services, including training and advocacy for the shelter sector, increased access and support for survivors of gender-based violence, and our violence prevention programming, Leading Change.
Join us to hear inspiring guest speakers, enjoy a gourmet plated meal, and partake in other engaging installations to keep you entertained all evening. The gala also includes a curated silent auction with items from some of Edmonton’s finest shops and businesses and a raffle to keep the giving atmosphere light and fun!

Together we are stronger and with your support. We can make a difference for those experiencing gender-based violence in Alberta.
