It’s called the Gala for the Cure and all proceeds from next week’s event are going to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Two business students at Widdifield, Alex Labelle and Dylan Schofield, are hosting the event at the Grand Event Centre on January 13th.

It’s part of an assignment for a business leadership course.

There’s a three course meal and live entertainment from local jazz band Twilight.

Tickets can be purchased from the North Bay branch of The Canadian Cancer Society, located at 47 McIntyre Street during business hours (Mon-Fri 9:00 to 5:00).

Tickets are $75 each, and officials say exact cash is required when purchasing from the cancer society.

Tickets can also be purchased through their Facebook page www.facebook.com/galaforcure.
