“We fundraise all year round usually, with our largest fundraiser being held each year in the spring – our online spring auction fundraiser – and then hold raffles, bake sales, barbecues, etc., throughout the year to meet our fundraising goal for each year,” said Kayla Mathison, the director of the centre. “Unfortunately this year our options were very limited because of the pandemic – we had to postpone our online spring auction fundraiser to July, weren t able to hold any barbecues or bake sales, and had to turn our annual Christmas paint night event into an online paint event.
