The Lloydminster and Area Brain Injury Society (LABIS) was thanking Servus Credit Union last week after the financial institution cut the non-profit organization a cheque for $2,000.

“We asked Servus Credit Union for a donation towards our slo-pitch tournament that we have every year, and all the proceeds from that go back into our organization. We run free programming for people with brain injuries,” said Michelle Neufeld, executive director of LABIS.

“The funds will directly help us cover the costs to host the slo-pitch tournament, and with that tournament being our biggest fundraiser of the year, all the money we raise will be profit since our costs are covered.”

Neufeld also explained although LABIS hasn’t seen an uptick in clientele as of late, the changing of the seasons and the slow disappearance of COVID restrictions have some fresh and familiar faces coming through the doors. 

“I think everyone’s been a little leery because of COVID and everything, but now that we’re offering programming back in the office, everyone’s starting to slowly come back out, which has been really nice, actually.”
