BRAGG CREEK, AB - STARS Air Ambulance will be getting another boost in the arm from local fundraisers in Bragg Creek Nov. 4. The fourth annual Frank Fowler Memorial Benefit Dinner will be held at the Bragg Creek Steak Pit in memory of the restaurant’s former general manager and STARS supporter who passed away unexpectedly in July 2004.
"It was a charity that was very important to him because Bragg Creek really had no emergency response," says Dale Schaeffer of the Steak Pit. "STARS is very instrumental in saving a lot of lives out here." Fowler started the local STARS fundraiser in 2002 after a teenage employee of the Steak Pit and a friend were involved in a car accident on Hwy. 8 near Bragg Creek in July 2002. Despite the efforts of STARS, both of the teenagers died in the crash. This incident fortified the importance of STARS in Fowler’s mind and moved him to action.
The fundraiser evening will begin at 6:00 p.m.
Cocktail and hors d’oeuvres followed by dinner at 7:30 p.m..
The auction will then run from 8:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.
Tickets are currently available for $75 per person
