Sponsorships

Do you want to help establish an annual Ottawa cultural event and support the formation of community leaders? If so, the 2nd Annual Boar’s Head Feast of Ottawa is where you want to make an impact.

Ottawa was home to the medieval English Boar’s Head Feast in January 2024, organised by seminarian Brian Wehrle. Originating in the 14th-century, the English Feast featured a procession with the Boar’s Head and the singing of the traditional Boar’s Head Carol.

The historical-cultural community event, featuring traditional medieval English dishes, was followed by the merriment of live ceilidh session players.

The Boar’s Head Feast Society of Knights of Columbus Council #177725 was established to make this Feast into an annual historical-cultural community event in our Nation’s Capital, joining no fewer than 19 other communities who celebrate the Feast annually.

Sponsorships will offset the cost of the event to make the ticket pricing more accessible for all community members. Sponsorship and ticketing funds raised beyond the cost of the event will support the seminarian fund of the Ordinariate Deanery of St. John the Baptist to promote the formation of seminarians who will be both spiritual and cultural leaders in Canada.

The hope of the Boar’s Head Feast Society is that these spiritual leaders in formation will soon be able to hold Feasts and other historical and cultural community events in their own local communities upon their return from formation.
Your Sponsorship will help create a lasting Ottawa tradition!

Important Notice
Please Read Carefully Before Continuing

The Boar’s Head Feast Society, and our partner organization, Knights of Columbus St. Clement Council 17725, use a platform called Zeffy to accept payments and donations. Zeffy is 100% free for us to use, charging no processing fees unlike other platforms. It is also 100% safe for you to use because it utilizes industry-leading technologies to keep your credit card information secure.

Because Zeffy does not charge organizations like us for their services, they ask if you would like to support their mission with a donation to their cause with each transaction. This donation defaults to 10% of your transaction total, and we are unable to refund it if you proceed without disabling it.

To disable the automatic donation to Zeffy, click on the drop down that says “Support the 100% free Canadian platform we use” under the Summary section, choose “Other” and enter a value of $0.

Please do also note, due to our status as a non-incorporated, not-for-profit fraternal organization, we are unable to issue tax receipts for your contribution.

If you would like a charitable tax receipt for your sponsorship, rather than using the Zeffy form below, please contact us directly at Feast@BHFS.ca and we will provide you with information on how to donate to the seminary fund directly to receive a charitable tax receipt.

Should you have any questions, please contact our fundraising coordinator, SK David Liam Eales, III at feast@bhfs.ca before proceeding with your order.
