A Night In Black & White

University Commons at University of Alberta
Every child who walks through Zebra Centre’s doors shows bravery. Each step they take is met with safety, advocacy, and the strength of a community — a herd — that surrounds them.
On Friday, October 24th, during Child Abuse Prevention Month, we invited our community to stand with them at A Night in Black & White, Zebra Centre’s inaugural signature fundraiser. Together, we celebrated resilience, created awareness, and raised critical funds to ensure every child and youth is heard, respected, and safe.
This unforgettable evening featured:
Grand Duelling Pianos – an interactive, high-energy performance
Ryan Jespersen as Host – bringing heart, humour, and connection
DJ Marky – setting the soundtrack for celebration
Passed hors d’oeuvres and an open bar – crafted for conversation and community
Each ticket is an investment in children’s futures. 100% of proceeds went directly to Zebra Centre, supporting our mission to walk alongside children and youth through the investigative, justice, and healing process.
Thank you for joining us for A Night in Black & White — and being part of the herd that gives children safety, support, and strength.
