Reaching the Starry Night’s Fundraiser campaign goal got a whole brighter.
South Cariboo Health Foundation Public Relations and Fundraiser Coordinator, Danielle Sabiston said earlier this week they were given two very generous donations.
“Our 100 Mile House Tim Hortons sponsored the Foundation during their Smile Cookie campaign. In total through buying those cookies raised $10,422. Half of that, $5,211, was given to us to add to our Starry Nights campaign, and the other half went to support the Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.”
But the giving didn’t end there.
“The second donation came from the Keystone of Life Foundation,” Sabiston said, “they provided us with a grant to fund two Tilt Wheel Chairs for Long Term Care and we are looking to give 10 of those. So the Keystone of Life Foundation has generously given us $10,573.”
In total that comes to $15,784 in new donations.
“It looks now like we’ve reached our halfway point and there’s still a long way to go to hit that $130,000 goal we set for this year,” Sabiston said, “but the community keeps showing up in big ways so we’re crossing our fingers and very hopeful that we get there.”
Donations to the South Cariboo Health Foundation’s Starry Nights campaign will be graciously accepted right up until the end of January 2026.
“The whole community has been so generous this season. I know there are a lot of people out there who are struggling with the cost of everything but people keep giving and the South Cariboo is a wonderful place because of it. We are very grateful.”
