The results are in from the Dauphin and District Community Foundation’s 24 Hour Giving Challenge.
Heading in, the goal was to raise 10 thousand dollars so they could get a bonus 4 thousand dollars from the province and Winnipeg foundation, even though they raised 43 thousand dollars during last year’s efforts.
They surpassed even last year’s total, raising 56,968 dollars.
In a press release, Kit Daley, the executive director of the Dauphin foundation, says they were thrilled with the response and are grateful for the community.
“It’s not just the current residents, but the ones who have moved away and still care about Dauphin. We want to thank everyone who contributed, including the Province and TWF (The Winnipeg Foundation) for their stretch funding. November 17th was an amazing day for us. We really appreciate the support and the impact it will have on the amount we can grant.”
