A holiday season fundraiser launched in 2020 by the Rotary Club of Kelowna Sunrise has raised more than $455,000 over the past three years.
The third annual Season of Giving Calendar brought in just over $134,000. The funds will support community programs focused on child, youth and infant health and other Rotary projects.
Among the recipients are the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation, which received a cheque for $45,000 dedicated to purchasing equipment for infants, mothers and nurses in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at KGH.
Another $45,000 has been presented to the Child and Youth Advocacy Center (CYAC). "As demand for our services continues to increase, we are so thankful for Sunrise Rotary’s steadfast support. Every Calendar sold makes the future a little bit brighter for our community’s most vulnerable children,” notes Ginny Becker, executive director, Child & Youth Advocacy Center.
The Season of Giving Calendar was first created in 2021. Presenting sponsor Business Finders Canada has supported the fundraiser since its inception.
