EVERY DONATION MAKES A DIFFERENCE!

​
The 13th Annual Invisible Ribbon Gala, hosted by the Trenton Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) will take place on Saturday, May 13, 2017 at the National Air Force Museum of Canada.  The Trenton MFRC is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2017! To commemorate this milestone, the gala’s theme will be 90s to Now!
 
Incorporated in 1992, the Trenton MFRC has supported military families at 8 Wing/CFB Trenton for 25 years. Since our beginning, we have recognized the important role families play in enabling the operational effectiveness of the Canadian Armed Forces. The Trenton MFRC has and continues to be a home away from home for military families as their loved ones face missions around the world.
 
In keeping with our commitment to meet the needs of military families we have outgrown our home at the Siskin Centre and are working to expand to new locations. Last year’s Invisible Ribbon Gala campaign successfully raised enough funds to complete Phase 1 of our expansion project for Belleville: renovating the building to meet licensed childcare requirements (installing kitchen facilities, toilets, sinks, lighting, safety systems and outdoor play space). This will provide a safe and comfortable space that enriches, strengthens and enhances the quality of life for our military families.
 
100% of the net proceeds from this year’s Invisible Ribbon Gala will be dedicated to Phase 2 of the expansion project: delivering essential MFRC programs and services in Belleville and Frankford. Military families face unique challenges including frequent relocation, separation and risk. Core programs like Deployment, Education & Employment, Welcome & Transition, Youth, Mental Health and Special Needs Inclusion Support are essential as they have the strongest impact on military families. Your support is needed to ensure military families have access to the personnel and resources in the community that they live in.
 
You are invited to show your support for our military community by donating an item to our auctions, sponsoring the event or attending the gala dinner.

100% OF NET PROCEEDS WILL SUPPORT MILITARY FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY.

The Trenton MFRC is a non-profit organization that promotes and facilitates community based services that enrich, strengthen and enhance the quality of life for our military families. The Trenton MFRC serves over 4,400 military members and approximately 7,500 dependents living in the Quinte region. Every year, hundreds of military members and their families use the resources offered by the Trenton MFRC; your support ensures that these resources are available to every person who walks through our doors.
 
The Invisible Ribbon Campaign raises awareness about the role of the military family, the resilience required in supporting our troops by “wearing the invisible uniform” and pays tribute to the sacrifices military families make in support of Canada.
