Building on the Legacy: Fundraising Campaign
The Building on the Legacy fundraising campaign opens the door to new opportunities for businesses and residents of Ponoka and surrounding areas. The Ponoka Ag Event Centre is a year-round agricultural, recreational, special event and education centre that will serve a diverse range of clients. It is an anchor attraction, tourism and economic driver for Ponoka, and it is estimated that the facility will attract $4M in non-local spending annually. This campaign reaches out to all corners of our community and the surrounding county area to seek financial support for this exciting project.
The Goal
Our goal is to raise $ 3 million, which is approximately 25% of the cost of the entire Ag Event Centre Project. By reaching this goal we will be able to finish the project in its entirety so that the facility can be used to its fullest potential.
Who's Taking The Lead?
A committee of dedicated community volunteers is the driving force behind this campaign, lead by our Fundraising Chair, Sherry Gummow. We are honored to have life-long resident and respected businessman, Ralph Vold, as our Honorary Chairman. In addition, The Ponoka Ag Event Centre Society Board Members are all committed to the success of this campaign.
