Some fierce dodgeball was played in the Border City on Nov. 28, and it was all for a great cause.
Stephanie Munro CEO, Lloydminster Region Health Foundation (LRHF), said the event was nothing short of a huge success.
“We are so overwhelmed by the continued generosity of our community and region,” said Munro.
“Our 5th annual ‘Lloydminster’s Gift to Health Livestream’ was a tremendous success, raising over $250,000 (and counting) towards our greatest needs fund including an enhanced air filtration system for the Pioneer House and Pioneer Lodge, as well as increased mental health resources for our community.”
The battle continued into the evening, but the final dodgeball game featured the BAR Engineering Blackout vs. The Sitting Ducks, with the Ducks taking home this year’s trophy.
But in the end, the entire community will benefit from the fundraising event.
“Everyone needs healthcare at some point in their lives and to know that the equipment and resources you need will be there when you need them is something you can never attach a price tag to,” said Munro.
“If you missed tuning in, you can re-watch the events of the day on our Facebook and YouTube channels.”
The LRHF would like to thank Cenovus Energy, all their sponsors, volunteers, The Hoop Factory, players and everyone who donated their time or funds to make the day memorable.
