May your family enjoy the warmth of the season Merry Christmas The return of this highly anticipated event will be held at the St. Anne’s Centre, 20 Morrison Drive. Doors will open at 5:00 pm for the meet and greet, followed by dinner and various presentations throughout the evening. Tickets will remain available until they are sold out, which are accessible through the stthomassportsspectacular.com website. This platform will also offer the latest updates. Those with inquiries are welcome more than one million dollars having been raised over the years and directed toward an array of projects in the community. “At the event itself,” Sean describes, “I always love seeing people come together in support of such wonderful causes in our community. Hearing the Special Olympics athletes of the year speak is always an inspirational highlight, and the head table guests are entertaining. Recently, I was fortunate enough to join our Board President, Dan Kelly, at the Community Living Gala and we presented them with a cheque for $20,000.00. It’s amazing to see the impact that an event like ours can have on people in the community who sincerely appreciate it.”
The 2025 St. Thomas Sports Spectacular will entail a delicious dinner, an enthralling live auction and an immersive silent auction. As Sean reveals, “The meal was excellent last year and so this year we have decided to do the same, with chicken and ham being the main entrée options.” The proceeds from the event will be donated to Community Living Elgin and local Special Olympics, initiatives which this annual celebration continues to support with
