HEARTS OUT is the major fundraising event of the year with the funds raised directly to support both Youth Singers programming, and our goal of creating a permanent community hub, the ATCO Performing Arts Centre, for all Calgarians.

2021 did not allow us to gather in person, so instead HEARTS OUT was reimagined into HEARTS OUT at HOME, bringing the party to YOU! This meant your entire household could take part in this red carpet themed, virtual celebration complete with a gourmet Italian inspired 3-course meal enjoyed in your own home, entertainment, and a local business-focused online silent auction.

HEARTS OUT at HOME was an exceptional and successful event raising over $80,000! Attendees enjoyed a delicious boxed meal from Bonterra Trattoria and Market Basket YYC along with a party bag filled with center pieces, party favours, photo booth props, and more! The livestreamed show, almost 4 hours long, included pre-recorded welcome messages, trivia and games, in-studio hosting, live virtual performances, and even a sing-along. In the midst of a pandemic, the event surpassed all expectations with the silent auction proceeds alone equaling that of previous years. Thank you!
