It took a big community effort and a lot of ticket sales but one volunteer group in Newfoundland and Labrador has managed to raise thousands of dollars, and flout a pandemic that shut down their traditional fundraising efforts.
Volunteers with the Bay d Espoir Cancer Benefit group raised $80,000 this year, enough to rival past performances, and they did it all without the annual concert that s been the centrepiece of their charity.
