Good morning Friends and Rotarians.
 
As many of you know our club is pitching in and helping organize a fundraising event for the Parkinson Association of Alberta.  Parkinson Disease affects many of our family, friends, and fellow Rotarians.  All the funds raised at this event remain here in the Edmonton Region. 
 
This will be a tremendous gala event. The Main Event will take place on Saturday, February 29, 2020 at the Wayne Gretzky Ballroom in the new and super swanky JW Marriott in Ice District.  So dust off your fancy clothes!  Bring that special somebody and impress them!!! 
 
Current WBC/WBA Featherweight World Champion and Founder of Champs Boxing Studio; Jelena Mrdjenovichwill cap the night off in style with what’s sure to be an inspiring keynote that will leave guests wanting more.
 
Be prepared for incredible silent auction experiences including exciting trips and one-of-a kind adventures.
 
There will be four amateur boxing bouts featuring some of Alberta's best Olympic prospects and national champions.  If you've never watched Olympic style amateur boxing then this will be a must-see event for you.  These are exceptional Alberta athletes and these contests will matter for them. All the bouts are sanctioned by and will be officiated by Boxing Alberta.  These contests are fast paced and exciting.
 
Above all, this will be an opportunity for us to support a great cause.  Parkinson Association of Alberta helps fund therapies for clients with Parkinson Disease and boxing training is excellent physical therapy.  The Main Event will feature a number of clients and in the spotlight they will shine.  Come out and support this worthy cause.
 
But, we need your help to make this a success.  Please plan on attending the event and encourage your friends, family, clients, and business colleagues to buy their tickets and attend.  When you're having that conversation, please be sure and show folks the awesome and inspirational YouTube video that has been produced to promote the event.  Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPEkm9T1iD4
