Join us for our 25th Silver Anniversary and become a part of the Aspire Story

 On behalf of Aspire Special Needs Resource Centre, I invite you to be part of the 25th annual Evening of
 Decadent Dessert, which will be held on May 10th, 2019. For 25 years, businesses, bakers and individuals
 from across central Alberta have come together to support this event, which has grown into one of the
 largest fundraisers in our community. What once began as a humble bake sale has matured into an elegant
 gala with over 570 guests joining us for a special evening, featuring one of a kind cake creations. We are
 grateful to the Central Alberta community who have supported the growth of this event over the last 25
 years. In 2018, over $145,000 was raised, and we hope to exceed this amount for our silver anniversary.

 As a charitable organization, Aspire Special Needs Resource Centre provides hope to children with special
 needs the families who love them and the communities that care for them. We provide diagnostic,
 consultation, therapy services, and early intervention programming. The important work done at Aspire
 gives families with children who have special needs access to answers, resources, support and helps them
 move towards a brighter future.

                 We invite you to support Evening of Decadent Dessert with a donation of cash,
                                       sponsorship, goods, or services.
                     Sponsorship opportunities are also outlined on the following page.

 We appreciate your investment in the exceptional children we serve at Aspire Special Needs Resource
 Centre. If you have questions regarding Evening of Decadent Dessert, or any other sponsorship opportunity,

“I have been a part of Evening of Decadent Dessert for a number of years now because I love what Aspire
does for children with special needs in this community. Mostly though, I love that I can create a cake that might
not otherwise be ordered by my customers. I love the freedom that this event allows me to have, I can try new
techniques or themes and it’s all for a great cause!”

Aspire provides hope to families.
                                            When Jake was first born we were so happy and excited. He was a healthy
                                            baby boy and everything we had hoped for. Around nine months we started
                                            to notice that he wasn’t reacting to normal sounds such as his name, the
                                            dogs barking or the doorbell ringing. We finally went in for testing at 14
                                            months old and found out that Jake had profound hearing loss in both ears.
                                            There were so many emotions that my husband and I went through when
                                            hearing this news…will he ever hear? Will he be ok? What do we do from
                                            here? We felt very alone and unsure on where to go.

                                     Jake was referred to the Children’s Hospital in Calgary where he underwent
                                     surgery for bilateral cochlear implants at 19 months old. There have been
many trips to Calgary for audiology follow ups and speech therapy.

We were so excited to have Jake start school at Aspire in September
2017 with the EASE program. He has opened up so much socially, he
is listening and speaking more than ever. He is a whole new kid and
so happy. He is still delayed in his speech development but making
                                                                                       “ They support not
                                                                                         only Jake, but our      “
progress every day.
                                                                                             family too.
We are so thankful to have such a wonderful program so close to us.
It helps you to feel part of a community and not so alone on this journey. They support not only Jake but our
family too. The Aspire staff are truly the best at what they do!

Thank you so much for supporting Aspire in this Evening of Decadent Dessert.
