Ahoy, Airdrie! Get ready for a swashbuckling good time at the 4th Annual Pirate and Princess Gala, where magic, music, and merriment come together for a cause close to the heart of the community. 

The Pirate and Princess Gala isn't just an ordinary event; it's a philanthropic endeavour to support the Sober Friends Society and Volunteer Airdrie. The Sober Friends Society focuses on helping community members overcome addiction by providing a safe, sober space for creative and enjoyable activities. On the other hand, Volunteer Airdrie mobilizes volunteers for various community initiatives and instills the value of giving back to the younger generation through its youth core group.

The President of the Sober Friends Society and one of the event organizers, Mike Loughman said the event aims to create a memorable day for families while raising funds for crucial community support.

"We could do another fundraiser that costs a little less and raises more money, but this is a very fun event. It gets families out there doing stuff.

He went on to say it's an event that fills his heart every year. Highlighting the unique, wholesome experience the gala provides. 

"Every year, looking around at some point of the event and seeing all the kids laughing, smiling, dancing, singing, jumping around and just looking at all the parents watching their kids having so much fun."

The joy seen on the children's faces, dressed as their favourite pirates or princesses, is a testament to the event's success.
