Steak Night Fundraiser
The Markewich family has once again gone above and beyond in support of Hope Cancer Help Centre by putting together a steak night fundraiser on Sunday, October 2, 2016. Their dedicated work raised almost $8,000, including $3,615 donated by Scotiabank (8th Street and Clarence). We sincerely wish to thank Debbie Markewich and her family and friends for putting on such a fun and successful night. We also wish to thank The Sutherland Bar for providing great food and service, and to thank all the business (Idylwyld Minute Muffler & Brake, Willow Insurance, Lakeview Drycleaners) and individuals (too numerous to name) for their donations and silent auction contributions.
P.S. The Pebble Bay Beetle Run, which raised $645 including Dean and Tabitha Matlock’s re-gifting their prize money to Hope, was one of the cleverest ideas we’ve heard.
Hair Fashions Salon Fundraiser
During the month of October, 2016, Fawn Krewishen of Hair Fashions Salon donated her time and 100% of all proceeds from haircutting and facial waxing services to Hope Cancer Help Centre. With additional donations through the salon, Fawn raised over $1,300; remarkable for a one person show. We will always be grateful for what Fawn has done.
Raising Hope Benefit Concert
On Friday, October 7, 2016 a small but enthusiastic crowd came out for a night of amazing music at the Cosmo Seniors Centre on 11th Street. The talented lineup of performers comprised Jay Semko, Brian McAreavey, Paddy Tutty and Jack Walton, who also hosted the event. Thank you to everyone who came out, on a Thanksgiving long weekend no less, and showed their enthusiasm. We also thank the Kinsmen Club of Saskatoon who provided the hall.
