10th Annual Invisible Ribbon Gala
May 3, 2014 * 5:30 pm
National Air Force Museum of Canada

The 10th Annual Invisible Ribbon Gala, hosted by the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC), will take place on Saturday, May 3, 2014 at the National Air Force Museum of Canada in Quinte West. 

You are invited to show your support for our military community by attending the event, donating an item to our auction or sponsoring the event.

The Invisible Ribbon Gala provides an exceptional opportunity to bring together members of Quinte’s business community with military leaders to raise funds and awareness for the Trenton MFRC, a non-profit organization that exists to support the well-being of local military families. We invite you to join other local businesses in supporting this event to enhance support programs and services for the children and families of our serving members. 

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. Together We Are Stronger!
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.
