1st Annual Porch Light gala dinner
November 2nd
The 1st Annual Porch Light Mental Wellness Society Gala was held to raise money for AgKnow - Alberta Farm Mental Health Network.
Through an evening of celebration featuring a live and silent auction, and our outstanding keynote speaker, Brett Gardiner, this event raised funds to help AgKnow continue to offer free counselling sessions for those in rural communities within Alberta.
We believe that mental wellness and resilience are key to keeping our rural towns and activities alive. Through this gala we aimed to raise awareness, as well as financial aid, and bring together like-minded agricultural people from Alberta.
Our Gala Partner
We partnered with AgKnow as we believe in their message and other ability to offer practical support to our community.
Thank you to all who donated to our fundraiser. The proceeds from our event directly support AgKnow's ability to offer free therapy sessions to those in need.

Our vision is to create a shift in farming culture to one where caring for mental health is a natural part of farm life. We want to increase resiliency in farming communities, de-stigmatize mental health, reduce barriers to services, and stay relevant and current with the issues impacting the agriculture industry in Alberta.
