CK Festival Of Giving Goes British For 2018

The Festival of Giving in Chatham is coming back ashore this year with a British Invasion theme.

The annual fundraiser for the Children's Treatment Centre Foundation of Chatham-Kent and other local charities is aiming to capitalize on royal wedding fever with what officials are describing as the "Full Monty of all things British."

The event is scheduled for April 14, 2018 at the John D. Bradley Convention Centre with advance tickets going on sale January 23 and general ticket sales starting January 30.

Last year's "Shipwrecked"-themed event drew more than 1,000 people out and raised a total of $268,000 for charity.

Tickets for this year's event are being sold exclusively through CK Tickets, and can be purchased online through www.cktickets.com, in person or over the phone at the Cultural Centre Box Office.

You can find more information on the event by clicking here and by watching the video below.
