The Ottawa Senators hosted their Fullscript Senators Black, Red & Gold Gala presented by Bell on Thursday, February 27. It was a successful night that saw more than $780,000 raised to support children and youth in the Ottawa-Gatineau region.

The Senators Community Foundation will be putting the funds raised towards a number of causes, including healthcare for kids at CHEO, Roger Neilson Children’s Hospice, Ronald McDonald House, feeding kids in schools and food banks, mental health resources for youth, and helping children access sports.

The Fullscript Senators Black, Red & Gold Gala presented by Bell was a magical night filled with great memories, food, and generosity. In attendance were Senators players, staff, and owners there to show their support for a good cause.

Also in attendance at this year’s gala was Samantha Woj, the Canadian visual artist who has been creating this season’s limited edition Throwback Thursday posters. Throughout the evening, Woj worked on two unique Senators paintings which went to auction and helped to raise over $1,000.

This year’s gala featured the popular 360 Video Both by Enchanted Booth, which was a hit amongst guests and added an interactive flair to the evening.

Providing a surprise performance was the Churchill School of Rock accompanied by Jay Trepanier, also known as Mullet Man.

In attendance at the gala were Kyle and Rachel Braatz, who unveiled their $2 million donation to the Senators Community Foundation. The Foundation will be working with the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario to ensure the funds are split evenly between the Griffin Bell Endowment Fund and CHEO’s Kids These Days, two initiatives that are important to the Braatz family.

“We are honoured that Kyle and Rachel would trust the Senators Community Foundation to distribute these funds to the causes that mean so much to them,” spoke Jacqueline Belsito, president of the Senators Community Foundation. “This level of commitment they are showing in our community is something that is admirable. And these types of significant donations truly help the Senators Community Foundation make a massive impact in our city.”
