CCS needs volunteers, for a variety of roles to support the smooth execution of our annual signature fundraising gala on Friday November 28, 2025, between the hours of 3pm to 1am.

This is a fun opportunity to volunteer in one or more important roles during our annual, semi-formal fundraising gala, “Home for the Holidays ”, located at the glamorous Royal Ambassador Banquet Hall in Caledon, ON. (There is no public transit in this rural location, so a driver’s license and use of a vehicle is required. There is free, accessible parking at the banquet hall.)

Roles that you can fill include:

• set up/decor assistants (setting up centerpieces, setting up guest gifts on the tables, setting up for the auction) - Nov 27, 1pm-7 pm
• November 28 - event night, arrive at 3 pm for the briefing (except for Auction Payment volunteers, arriving for 8pm briefing)
• Registration assistants (help provide a warm welcome to our guests!)
• Photographer assistants (help us capture the magic of the night!)
• Wine wall and mystery boxes sales (is sales your secret talent? - you'll help sell wine and mystery fudge boxes and process payments)
• MC assistants (do you love the spotlight? You'll help the magic happen, bring out the prizes, help run fun activities etc)
• Event day assistants (calling all customer service ninjas! welcome the guests, help Gala program run smoothly) 
• Silent auction assistants (help our guests pick out amazing items and bid!)
• Payment crew (do you have that magic tech touch? help us process auction payments with our state-of-the-art cashless terminals!)
• Takedown team (are you a night owl/Marie Kondo's fan? this is a late shift to collect our decor/unused auction items from the venue)

Must be 19 years of age as this is a licensed event where alcohol will be served.

Driver's license and access to a reliable vehicle as the event venue is in a rural location where public transportation is not available.

Dress Code: Business casual, slightly dressier for the MC Assistants as they will be in front of an audience and should match the festive tone of the evening. Volunteers doing set-up and/or take-down can dress casual. 

A virtual orientation will be held on November 18, 2025 in the early evening. The meeting link will be sent to volunteers who have signed-up for the event.

On-site briefing/ training at 3 pm on event day, Friday November 28, 2025.
