Evening of Decadent Dessert

Mark your calendar for Friday, October 2, 2026 — and join us for a night of sweetness, sparkle, and impact.

For more than 40 years, Aspire Child Development Centre has been walking alongside children with diverse needs and their families — helping them find answers, build skills, and rediscover hope. What began as a single program has grown into a vital community resource, now supporting more than 1,000 children and families across Central Alberta every year. And that impact is only possible because of you.

We are thrilled to invite you to our 30th Annual Evening of Decadent Dessert at the beautiful Red Deer Resort & Casino.

This year, we’re elevating the experience in an exciting new venue — and we can’t wait to gather together for an unforgettable night! Your evening will include:

🥂 A sparkling champagne reception
🎶 Live entertainment
🍽️ A delicious buffet dinner
🎁 Exciting live and silent auctions
🍰 An indulgent showcase of locally crafted desserts

It’s a night to dress up, celebrate generously, and make a meaningful difference. Every ticket purchased supports Aspire’s programs and services, helping children access the therapies, supports, and opportunities they need to thrive. Ticket on sale June 2, 2026
