Fort St. John Firefighters Charity Ball returns to Pomeroy Hotel this May

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — Local firefighters have announced the date for their annual charity fundraiser as preparations for the event are underway.

According to an announcement from the Fort St. John Firefighters Charitable Society, the group’s 2025 Charity Ball is scheduled for May 3rd at the Pomeroy Hotel and Conference Centre.

The event – described by the society as “a fun-filled fundraising evening” with live entertainment and silent auctions – raises money for several programs supported by the charitable society.

Last year, the ball raised more than $166,000, with the money being split between the BC Professional Firefighters Burn Fund, the Medical Travel Fund, and a partnership with School District 60 providing local students with backpacks.

The society’s announcement says tickets for this year’s ball will go on sale on April 1st. In the meantime, anyone interested in donating to the Charitable Society or sponsoring the event can email the organization or reach out through social media.

The programs that will benefit from this year’s event have yet to be announced. Energeticcity.ca has contacted Brent Morgan, the society’s president, to learn more.
