An Evening of Hidden Glamour & Generosity
Enter an evening of speakeasy splendour at the 33rd Charity Wine Auction on October 17, 2026. Hosted in honour of the Calgary Co-Op Community Foundation, Willow Park Wines & Spirits will be once again transformed into a glamorous evening of fine wine, gourmet food, electrifying entertainment and community spirit. This year's theme, Midnight Speakeasy, invites guests behind hidden doors to an evening where tailored tuxedos and sharply cut suiting pair with sculpted silk gowns, corseted silhouettes, and feathered accents, echoing vintage Paris after dark.
Supporting Calgary’s Communities
Each year this incredible gala supports local charities and organizations through the Calgary Co-Op Community Foundation. This year we are proud to champion three outstanding beneficiaries:
-
Hotchkiss Brain Institute - Dementia & Cognitive Disorders Offering compassionate support to children, teens, and families facing illness, grief, and loss. With over 1,000 clients served annually through counselling, peer groups, and creative therapies, the centre also strengthens community resilience through toolkits and workshops for parents, educators, and professionals.
-
Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation and its emerging Adult Mental Health Initiative Advancing a vital new mental health initiative for emerging adults (ages 16–24). In collaboration with Alberta Health Services and the University of Calgary, this program bridges the gap between pediatric and adult care, integrating psychiatry, psychology, social work, and adolescent medicine to reimagine services for this vulnerable population.
-
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Calgary and Area and the 94 Doors initiative Helping create more opportunities for young people in our community to access meaningful mentorship and build connections that can have a lasting impact. There’s something especially fitting about supporting 94 Doors at Willow Park Wines & Spirits, which first opened its doors in 1994.
