This weekend saw over 350 people take part in the Coldest Night of the Year walk and fundraiser in the Cowichan Valley.
Event Director Jennifer Lazenby says that it was a great night and the community showed up.
“It was just overwhelming seeing so many supportive faces in the room. It was just absolutely incredible.” said Lazenby
She adds that a few last-minute donations put them well above their initial goal of 60,000 dollars.
“Then to top it off, we got an in-person donation from the Kotson Forestry Services company of $10,000. It was just wonderful.”
As of right now, they have raised just over $70,000, but donations are still open until March 31st.
