Sports commentator Ian Mendes to join Chris Phillips, Chris Neil at Sens Gala

A new name has been added to the list of celebrity guests for the Sens Gala. Sports commentator Ian Mendes will join former Ottawa Senators players Chris Phillips and Chris Neil at the event.

The Sens Gala, which will bring in dollars for the North Grenville Outdoor Rink Project, is set for November 23. It is being held at the New Rideau Restaurant starting at 6:30pm.

Organizer Tanys Mosher says Mendes caught wind of the fundraising event, thought it was a great cause and wanted to get involved.

Tickets are $100 each and proceeds will go to the outdoor rink being built at Southgate Church. Phase one of the project is expected to cost about $300,000. The rink will be free to use for the whole community. The gala includes a prime rib buffet dinner and silent auction.

Mosher says local businesses have been very supportive and there are great items up for grabs, including a $200 gas card from Stinson and cookware set worth $1,000 from Canadian Tire.

About 100 tickets out of 150 have sold already. The goal is to raise $30,000.

Charitable tax receipts are available for a portion of the ticket price and all donations. To purchase tickets, click here.
