Manitoba 4-H Council announced their Annual Green Tie Gala is returning for a second year.
The 4-H Green Tie Gala will feature a fundraising dinner aimed at supporting provincial programs and expanding opportunities for youth members.
The event will be held at Assiniboia Downs in Winnipeg on Wednesday, November 6, 2024, and will coincide with the National 4-H “Show Your 4-H Colours” day.
Funds raised through this event will play a crucial role in ensuring 4-H Manitoba can continue to offer transformative learning experiences to youth across the province.
“We are thrilled to once again bring together our 4-H community for an unforgettable evening of connection and celebration,” says Shannon Carvey, Executive Director of Manitoba 4-H Council Inc. “This event is not only an opportunity to support the next generation of 4-H members, but also a call to our alumni to reconnect with their fellow club members, share their stories, and reflect on the impact 4-H has had on their lives. Together, we can ensure today's youth continue to benefit from the same enriching experiences that shaped our own journeys.”
Carvey says the Green Tie Gala began as one way to bring awareness for the 4-H programs across the province. "We wanted to share the message that 4-H was very much alive and well. But secondly, we want to raise funds to create some amazing programs at the grass roots level for our members."
With roots that began in Manitoba, 4-H is proud to be celebrating 111 years as one of the most respected positive youth development organizations in Canada.
4-H Manitoba has over 1,400 members and 400 volunteers, all working toward the common goal of helping young Canadians “Learn To Do By Doing” in a safe, inclusive, and fun environment.
Through hands-on experiential learning, 4-H nurtures responsible, caring, and contributing leaders who are dedicated to positively impacting their communities in Manitoba, across Canada, and around the world.
Manitoba 4-H Council Inc. encourages alumni to attend the Green Tie Gala to reconnect with fellow members, celebrate their shared history, and contribute to the future of youth programming.
'Together, we can build a brighter future for the next generation of 4-H leaders," adds Carvey.
