The KTW Christmas Cheer Fund is back, with readers of Kamloops This Week helping us help the community.
Charities being supported this year: Y Women’s Emergency Shelter, Kamloops Brain Injury Association, Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism, Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association and the Kamloops chapter of the BC SPCA.
To donate, click on the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund logo on the kamloopsthisweek.com website or go online to bcicf.ca/kamloops-this-week-christmas-cheer-fund. Donations are accepted online thanks to a partnership with the BC Interior Community Foundation. Donations can also be dropped off at the KTW office, at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays. Cheques should be made out to the BC Interior Community Foundation.
Every year, the team at IG Wealth Management in Kamloops has made the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund a charitable focus.
This year marks the 19th year IG Wealth has participated in the Cheer Fund, with this year’s contribution of $3,000 bringing the total donations to date to $59,685.71.
“Dean Nicholson, a former consultant at IG Wealth Management, used to spearhead this fundraising activity,” said Andrea Ciccone, executive assistant to Nat Jackson.
“We have taken over from him and just hope that we can continue to raise as much as we possibly can and support the community. There’s five totally different, but very community-minded charities that the money goes to, which is very nice.”
IG Wealth Kamloops division manager Nat Jackson added: “A lot of the clients behind the scenes love the work that everyone puts and pulls together for this.
“Over the years, they’ve helped make donations, as well. They love to support it.”
To donate to the Cheer Fund, click on the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund logo at kamloopsthisweek.com, go to bcicf.ca/ kamloops-this-week-christmas-cheer-fund or drop in to KTW’s office at 1365B Dalhousie Dr., weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
