The Anne Oake Family Recovery Centre will be the beneficiary of this year’s Sons and Daughters of Italy Gala.

The 37th edition of the annual gala, being held at the RBC Convention Centre on March 15, will see proceeds go to the Bruce and Anne Oake Memorial Foundation to support the capital campaign to build the recovery centre.

Scott Oake, the foundation’s president, thanked the Sons and Daughters of Italy for supporting the initiative, which will bring residential recovery services to women and children.

“(The Sons and Daughters of Italy) previous commitment to the Bruce Oake Recovery Centre was instrumental in our success, and their continued generosity ensures that women in Manitoba can access life-saving recovery services without being separate from their children,” he said in a news release Friday.

Tickets for the gala can be purchased online or by emailing dinneradmin@sonsofitaly.ca.
