Presented by Realco Properties, the evening began with an elegant cocktail hour at Match Eatery & Public House, where guests mingled and connected. It was the perfect lead-in to an unforgettable night of giving.

One of the evening’s most memorable moments came from Delta firefighters Joel Woznikoski and Warren Balzer, who shared the deeply personal and urgent need to ensure no child in Delta goes to school hungry.

Guests responded with heartfelt generosity during the live auction and Fund the Need, expertly led by Howard Blank, helping launch a new Endowment Fund to support long-term food security for Delta students.

With nearly a million dollars raised, this year’s Mayor’s Ball proved what’s possible when a community unites for a cause close to home. All proceeds benefit the Delta Firefighters Charitable Society’s Healthy Snacks Program.
