Wow – we are absolutely blown away! In just 3 hours, tickets for the 10th Anniversary VINEart Gala and Auction sold out. This is a record-breaking milestone, and it’s all thanks to your incredible support and enthusiasm for this special evening.

We can’t wait for the 10th Anniversary of YWCA Banff’s biggest fundraiser, VINEart Gala and Auction, on Saturday, March 15th, 2025 at the Fairmont Banff Springs.

Cocktail Reception | 6 PM – 7 PM

Program | 7 PM – 11 PM

This year marks a decade of powerful change. We invite you to celebrate with us as we honour the past 10 years of progress and look forward to the next chapter. Get ready for an incredible evening of delicious food and wine, inspiring art and entertainment, and an exceptional live and silent auction as we raise funds for YWCA Banff’s critical programs and services.

Our goal this year is to raise $200,000 to bring the 10-year total raised at VINEart to $1 Million! Funds raised will support YWCA Banff’s residential programs including emergency shelter, transitional housing, affordable housing, and counselling services. A portion of funds will support our Higher Ground Project, YWCA Banff’s plan to build a new facility in Canmore to increase our capacity to deliver critical services to our community.

Since the inception of VINEart Gala & Auction 10 years ago, YWCA Banff has provided over 15,000 safe bed nights to people experiencing sexual or domestic violence, housing insecurity, or both. Over the past 10 years our programs have expanded to meet the growing needs of our community. Last year alone YWCA Banff provided 2,966 safe bed nights, a significant increase from the 588 bed nights we provided in 2015. This critical work is only made possible thanks to the generous support of community members and businesses like you.
