In the days before YC we were really swamped with soo much to accomplish and getting organized. Now that we are back I want to let everyone know who made it possible for you all to get to YC. This year seven out of 36 youth were able to raise all the money needed to go to YC on their own. Everyone else got some help from coporate sponsors. (Some also had to chip in a bit of their own cash too).
Because of the generous donations of Maple Leaf Transportation, Western Canadian Coal, Tumbler Ridge Lions Club, Avalanche Trucking, M & R Maintenance, Westmar, CJG, Pelly Construction, C.Friesen Holdings, Tumbler Ridge RCMP and the Tumbler Ridge Fellowship Baptist Church 36 youth and 8 chaperones were able to have an amazing weekend experience listening to great inspirational speakers and rocking out to amazing bands.
Many people and companies also participated in helping with fundraising: Thanks to the Bottle Depot and Carmen for your help and patience as we did a two day massive bottle drive. Thanks to: Proteus Business Solutions, Eye for Detail Photography, Shop Easy, Sanctuary Valley, Northern Metalics, Dragon Palace, Vinnies, Sheila's, TR Inn, TR Reality, Jade True Value, Tags, The Dollar Store, Mac's on Main from Tumbler Ridge for your generous dontations of items for the Auction Fundraiser. Thanks to: Northern Toybox, Corlane Sporting Goods, Simple Pleasures, B&T, Mom's to Be, Dawson Creek Art Gallery, Old Creek Store, Walmart, Zellers, Dawson Creek Coop, Whitespot, McDonalds, Butcher Block in Dawson Creek for the amazing auction items donated. Thanks to the following families who also supplied items: the Pack Family, the Lemon Family, the Peat Family, the Schembri Family, the Hayden Family, the McBain Family.
As you can see the number of people that helped get the youth to YC is huge!!! So remember when you are out and about in Dawson or in TR that there are people who are behind you, and to be VERY NICE to the businesses who helped make it possible for you to have such a great experience!
Thank you!!!!
