Boo Baskets, Trunk or Treat, Elf Bags and Light the Lake

August 28, 2023

As the holiday season draws near, we're excited to introduce several community events that are set to make a significant impact in Chestermere. These events aren't just about celebrations; they're about coming together as a community to spread joy, create memories, and make a difference in the lives of our neighbours. We invite you to join us as a sponsor and be a part of the magic!

1. Boo Baskets - Spreading Smiles, One Act of Kindness at a Time!

Price: $50.00 + 50 items per basket

There's no better feeling than bringing a smile to someone's face through a simple act of kindness. The Boo Baskets event is all about creating joy and connection within our community. For a sponsorship of $50.00, you'll contribute to the creation of heartwarming Boo Baskets, each filled with items that will delight and surprise their recipients. Families who receive a Boo Basket will then pay it forward by "Boo-ing" two more families, creating a ripple effect of happiness throughout our city. Interested? Complete this form.

2. Trunk-or-Treat

October 20, 2024 Price: $20.00 per trunk/vehicle. Click here to register your vehicle

What is a Trunk-or-Treat? Instead of going door-to-door, children go from car to car to get treats. Vehicles sponsored by local businesses and organizations gather in the parking lot and hand out treats from their decorated car trunks to children in costume. 

3. Elf Baskets - Extending the Joyful Tradition!

Price: $50.00 + 50 items per basket

Similar to the Boo Baskets, the Elf Baskets event brings the same concept of spreading cheer and warmth. Your sponsorship of $50.00 will help assemble Elf Baskets filled with items that will continue to ignite the holiday spirit in our community. By participating in the Elf Baskets event, you'll be contributing to the heartwarming tradition of connecting neighbours through acts of kindness and generosity.  Interested? Complete this form. 

4. Light the Lake - Illuminate the Spirit of the Season!

Price: $200.00

We're thrilled to announce the return of Light the Lake for 2023! This event promises to bring families closer together as they embark on a magical journey around our city to admire the beauty of Christmas lights and displays. Your sponsorship of $200.00 will play a crucial role in creating unforgettable memories for Chestermere families. Prizes and trophies will be awarded in four categories, adding an element of friendly competition that enhances the festive spirit. Interested? Complete this form.
