Well, this year has been low key for the fundraising, unlike other years.
But I must say that this year I had great fun planning my fundraising event.
By the sounds of it Carnival Diablo enjoyed the collaboration, so I am definitely hoping to be on board with them next year.
Next year is the 20th anniversary of Carnival Diablo, so I will have to plan a raffle give-away keeping with the theme of the 20th anniversary. I have been boiling something up in my caldron!
We raised $260.00 for the event.
Today was also the draw for the handmade shawl.
The winner of the shawl is: Mrs Doris Ferguson of Carleton Place
I am saddened to say, that upon contacting the family of Doris Ferguson I found out she passed away on September 1st. She lost her own battle with cancer. My heart breaks for her family. Such a loss of such a sweet soul. This is why I fundraise. I have watched too many pass from this disease and so far I have been spared. I don't take life for granted and because I feel blessed I feel I have to give back.
I will send the shawl to her daughter Jody, and perhaps it will help comfort her a little when she is missing Mom.
I will ask for the prayer circle to put her family in our prayers.
Thanks to everyone else for participating.
