INITIATIVES PRESENTS:
10th Anniversary Jamboree for Charity
June 4, 2022
Craig Senyk Initiatives is proud to present our 10th Anniversary Jamboree for Charity! Get duded up in your best Western garb and help us celebrate as we bring you two nights of some of Canada’s top country music and one heck of a lot of fun.
On Saturday, June 4th, we will celebrate our 10th anniversary in our usual style (plus a few extras) with live performances, dance lessons, a silent auction, delectable food stations and more. Hosted by Brandi Sidoryk and Katie Rox from Nice Horse, the event will be headlined by Terri Clark, with special guests High Valley, Michelle Wright, and Kyle McKearney. While there is no cost to attend this high-energy evening, we we invite you to donate generously to our beneficiary charity.
Sponsored by Mawer Investment Management, all proceeds from this year’s Jamboree will go to support I Can for Kids, and their mission to provide nourishing food to Calgary’s food-insecure children.
On night one of festivities, Friday, June 3rd, we will kick off the weekend with our Blue Jay Sessions with an all-acoustic songwriters’ circle. Featuring eight great performers in two sessions, this event is open to invited guests only. There will be a cash bar, food for purchase, and a 50/50 draw for guests – all proceeds going directly to I Can for Kids. Register early as this intimate evening has a capacity of only 100 guests!
DOORS OPEN: 6:00 pm
FIRST SESSION: 7:00 pm Featuring Alex Hughes, Matt Blais, Ashley Ghostkeeper and Taylor-Rae
SECOND SESSION: 8:30 pm Featuring Mariya Stokes, Ryan Lindsay, Shantaia, ZENON
