Charity Donations
The first Annual Holiday on the Harbour Charity Ball was December 27th, 1997 and raised over $7,000 for the Metro Youth Help Line. Since then the number of charities, the funds raised and the profile of the event has grown over the past decade and now hosts between 900 & 1000 Halifax area professionals providing an opportunity to socialize with old friends as well as expand your network during the Holiday season while raising funds for many worthy causes. Funds raised are generated through corporate sponsorship, a silent auction and ticket sales.
