Jerry Forbes Centre for Community Spirit

We received a very generous donation from the Ulmer Family and their wish is for us to use the funds for "The highest priority need of your organization." They believe in our purpose and trust us to decide where and how their donation will be most impactful. We extend our sincere appreciation to the Ulmer Family for their ongoing support and thank them for taking the time to visit and tour the Jerry Forbes Centre. They are proudly recognized on our Community Living Wall!

Today on Giving Tuesday, we’re asking our community to help protect something truly essential.

At the Jerry Forbes Centre, 26 charities and non-profits grow here, live here, and serve our city every single day. This shared home provides them with zero rent (only shared operating costs), strengthens collaboration, and lets them focus on helping the people who need them most.

Step into the secret world of The Bootlegger’s Ball on Friday, November 7, at The Bell in Scona, 2nd Floor.

Tickets available, but with only 104 seats to fill, we’re working within a tight timeline to reach a sellout! You don't want to miss out.

Your host for the evening, the fabulous Ms. F***y Luphine of House of Hush, will guide you through a night of entertainment straight out of the Prohibition era. She'll be joined by her dazzling Flapper co-stars and the smooth sounds of the MacEwan Music Club Jazz Ensemble.

In true speakeasy style, expect the unexpected. The incredible Chris Gowen, renowned magician and entertainer, will mystify guests with a private performance and in-crowd illusions that bring the spirit of intrigue to life.

Throughout the night, enjoy tasty delights, craft cocktails, games of chance, and a few surprises hidden in the shadows. Every sip, laugh, and trick supports 26 local charities through the Jerry Forbes Centre Foundation.

"You need better signage.", I comment we heard often from visitors to the Centre. With just our name on the awning over our main entrance, we knew it was time for an upgrade and greater visibility for those coming to the Jerry Forbes Centre.

Today is THE DAY! With a generous gift from the Kiwanis Club of Edmonton (Downtown), we were able to install the Jerry Forbes Centre name in a highly visible location on the exterior of the Centre.

As we head into the busiest months of the year for the organizations at the Centre, this new signage will be an important new addition!

Thank you to General Signs & Service Ltd.
