A pair of community builders and Saskatoon Public Schools alumni are doing their part to support unique educational opportunities to students by serving as the special guests for the 2017 Autumn Social & Celebrity Roast.

Lawyer and long-time city councillor Tiffany Paulsen, a graduate of Aden Bowman Collegiate, and Darcy Bear, chief of the Whitecap Dakota First Nation and an alumnus of Nutana Collegiate, are the subjects of the roast that raises funds for the Saskatoon Public Schools Foundation.

The evening takes place Thursday, Nov. 2, at Nutana Collegiate and features dinner, a silent & live auction and a light-hearted roast featuring roast master Darrell Utley and other guests.

Proceeds from the Autumn Social & Celebrity Roast will be used to fund unique educational opportunities that go above and beyond for Saskatoon Public Schools students, such as Summer Reading Camps, Early Learner Literacy Tutors and Programs of Excellence Grants.

Saskatoon Public Schools Foundation is an independent charity dedicated to enhancing learning opportunities for students at Saskatoon Public Schools and celebrating the vital role that public education plays in our society. The SPS Foundation partners with committed businesses, organizations and individuals and brings school communities together to support programs and initiatives that go above and beyond the school division's mandate and regular operations.
