You Can’t Fight the Moonlight – but you can certainly listen as LeAnn Rimes tell you all about it! The award-winning country and pop music mega star will headline this year’s Gala Discovery presented by ATB Financial. The announcement was made today by the Keyano College Foundation.

Gala is all set for Saturday, November 3 in the Syncrude Sport & Wellness Centre. Guests will be treated to the much-awaited, black-tie event of the year with the opulence they have come to expect each year. The elegant tradition will treat Keyano College Foundation’s 1200 best friends with a night of decadent fun, food, and entertainment.

All funds raised from Gala Discovery go towards educational programs, scholarships, awards, campus improvements and campus developments.

Moe Farhat, member of the Foundation Board of Directors and Co-Chair of the Gala organizing committee was instrumental in securing Rimes. He says she is excited to make her debut in Fort McMurray.

“We are fortunate enough to get LeAnn Rimes and so glad the scheduling and logistics worked out. Thank you to our entertainment sponsor SITE Energy Services/Bear Slashing for their support,” Farhat said.

Steve Jani, Director, Corporate Development & Community Relations, SITE Energy Services/Bear Slashing said this is the company’s way of showing support for the community.

“We are delighted to sponsor the Keyano College Foundation Gala Discovery. We are a relatively new organization with 14 branches in western Canada, the biggest in Fort McMurray. It’s all about supporting the community you call home,” Jani said.

Cindy Amerongen, Vice President, Community Relations & Chief Development Officer, applauded the Gala committee for their ongoing work. She said as gala season approaches in our region, “anticipation for the Keyano event is incredible.”

“You will be surprised at the transformation of the two field houses. We innovate and celebrate together. We have great partners on board for catering, production and more. ATB Financial, our presenting sponsor has many surprises in store for you as you enter the Gala this year,” she explained.
