A HUGE thank you to all of our Rainbow Auction Sponsors! Your generosity and support helped make this year's Table for 600 possible!

06/13/2026

Last night reminded us that community really does matter. 🤍

Even with less-than-perfect weather, hundreds of people showed up, supported local causes, shared laughs, danced, connected, and made Table for 600 another incredibly special evening.

To everyone who attended, thank you. We truly appreciate your support, your flexibility, and your willingness to embrace the night right alongside us.

There will be many more proper thank yous to our volunteers, sponsors, partners, vendors, and organizing committee in the coming days, but for now, we simply wanted to say thank you for being there.

What a beautiful reminder of what community can look like.

Ps. Check the Rainbow Auction post for winning numbers.

Yes, the wind is definitely making an appearance tonight at Table for 600, and our committee has been watching things closely all day. 😊

A reminder that while we love the tradition of wearing white, more importantly, we want everyone to dress for the weather and be comfortable. Jackets, layers, practical footwear. all completely okay.

Our incredible committee and volunteers have been working hard behind the scenes and have made a few adjustments to the setup to help make the evening as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Most importantly, the event is happening, and it’s still going to be a wonderful night of community, connection, and support for three great local organizations. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to Southport tonight! 🤍

Tonight our Table for 600 takes place and it would simply not happen without the dedicated group of volunteers that make sure it is a success.

A cancer diagnosis affects more than just the body—it can impact every aspect of life, including your emotional and mental well-being.

It's normal to experience a wide range of feelings. Fear, anxiety, anger, sadness, uncertainty, and even moments of hope can all exist at the same time. There is no "right" way to feel, and there is no timeline for processing what you're going through.

During treatment, many people focus all of their energy on appointments, medications, and physical health. While these things are important, caring for your mental health is just as essential. Most importantly, remember that you are more than your diagnosis. You are still you—with hopes, dreams, strengths, and a life that extends far beyond cancer.

If you or a loved one is struggling emotionally during a cancer diagnosis, know that support is available. You do not have to face it alone.

WOW - $4530.50!

A huge thank you to Don and the entire team at Don's Direct Deals for hosting another incredible fundraising barbecue and pie-in-the-face fundraiser this past weekend in support of Central Plains Cancer Services. We are thrilled to report they raised $4530.50!!!

Don's generosity comes from a place of understanding. Having experienced his own cancer diagnosis and journey, he knows firsthand the importance of the support, services, and compassion that organizations like CPCS provide to individuals and families facing cancer.

Year after year, Don and his team continue to give back, bringing our community together for a great cause while helping ensure local cancer patients have access to the support they need.

To everyone who stopped by for a hot dog, made a donation, or helped put a pie in someone's face, thank you for making the day such a success. We are incredibly grateful for your support and for community champions like Don and his team who turn their gratitude into action.

Thank you for helping us make a difference, one patient, one family, and one fundraiser at a time. Don's Direct Deals

This Saturday, the Dilworth family will once again be hosting their annual Lemonade Stand & Bake Sale in Rathwell in memory of a beloved husband, dad, and grandpa, Mr. Dale Dilworth.

Year after year, the Dilworth family chooses to honour Dale's memory by giving back and supporting the work of Central Plains Cancer Services. Their dedication, generosity, and commitment to helping local cancer patients and families is truly inspiring.

We are incredibly grateful to the Dilworth family for their continued support and to everyone who stops by to support this wonderful initiative. Your kindness helps ensure that local cancer patients can access the transportation and support services they need close to home.

Thank you, Dilworth family, for keeping Dale's memory alive in such a meaningful way.
