The Town of Blackfalds, Alberta, is currently in the final week of registration for its second annual Chairs for Charity event. Local businesses and organizations have until the end of the week of March 11, 2026, to sign up and take part in the community fundraiser.
The event asks local groups to use their creativity to decorate chairs, which are then used as the main prizes for a community raffle. All the money raised from the ticket sales is donated to local charities that serve residents in the area.
This project began in 2025 and was a success for the community during its first year. The first raffle raised nearly $5,000, which was given to local food programs to help people in need.
Organizers are encouraging more groups to get involved this year to help keep the momentum going. By participating, businesses can show off their creative skills while providing a direct benefit to local non-profit organizations.
