Our community is amazing! Because of you, we surpassed our fundraising goal for the Christmas Celebration held on December 14th! You helped us raise $5,010 to throw an amazing holiday party for about 200 participants of CMHA Kelowna and Interior Health programs. For many, it will be the only celebration they have this year. Every attendee enjoyed a delicious meal and took home a small gift.
Highlights included a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus and the grade 6 students from Anne McClymont school who serenaded us with holiday songs. We couldn’t have done it without the generosity of our community and our many fantastic volunteers. Thank you also to Lakeview Market for donating much of the produce for this event!
Missed this opportunity to make a difference? Don’t worry, you can still do magic!
