Happy June! This month we are usually busy fundraising for a cause very near and dear to our hearts, JDRF, Kelowna -
On the 14th of June, we were planning to serve breakfast at the Sun Life Walk to Cure Diabetes for JDRF, for the fourth year in a row. Like many other charitable fundraisers, COVID-19 has put a damper on usual fundraising efforts with the cancellation of these and many events. But the foundation has organized a virtual house party instead! On Sunday, June 14th gather your friends and family and join @jdrf_canada at #HouseParT1D for a virtual celebration including celebrity guests, live music and research updates. If you are able, a donation of any amount would greatly help the foundation continue the amazing work they do.
Hockey and Hollywood will raise funds for JoAnna's House at Predator Ridge this summer. The fifth annual Okanagan Celebrity Classic golf tournament returns July 7 and 8.
