Invisible Ribbon Gala - A fundraiser for the Military Family Resource Centre (Trenton)

We Couldn't Do It Without You!
More Than $65,000 Raised to Support Local Military Families

Asking for help from people who aren’t your close family and friends can be a challenge,
but the military lifestyle often moves you away from familiar faces; Tamara Kleinschmidt, interim executive director
of the Trenton MFRC, says that’s where the Centre steps up. Read more...

Canadian Forces families are a prominent part of this community; they are your neighbours, friends, colleagues and customers. Being in the military isn’t just a job; it’s a way of life for the entire family. The community is constantly reminded of the sacrifices that our uniformed members make to protect peace and freedoms in Canada and around the globe. However, we often forget sacrifices made by their families.

The Invisible Ribbon© Campaign raises awareness about the role of the military family, as they support our troops by “wearing the Invisible Uniform”. 100% of proceeds support the programs and services offered by the Trenton MFRC to military families in our community, providing a support system and services to make everyday life easier.

As a guest of the Invisible Ribbon Gala, you will enjoy cocktails and appetizers while mingling with community and business leaders, as well as senior military personnel. Place your bid at the silent auction, enjoy a delicious dinner and entertainment provided by the live auctioneer and the 8 Wing Band.

Our goal this year is to raise over $82,000. Join Colonel David Lowthian, 8 Wing Commander, the senior leadership of 8 Wing/CFB Trenton, other prominent members of the Canadian Forces and our valued community, to show your support for the military families in our community.

Thank you, on behalf of the families of our military community.

The military is more than a job. It is a lifestyle for the whole family that can consist of frequent relocation, deployments, and isolation from extended family. Because of this, we say that military families wear an "invisible uniform" for the role they play in supporting our troops.

100% of proceeds from the Invisible Ribbon Gala support families in our community through the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre.

The Trenton Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) provides a variety of programs, support and services that strengthen military families and enhance the CFB Trenton community. We are committed to making transitions and everyday life easier for these families.

Thank you to our sponsors...
