BRIDGES has some big thanks to send out today!
Many thanks to our Valley Business Association partners in the Hinton Valley Business District for organizing and continuing this amazing annual Hinton Valley Fun Day event every June. This was our 4th year and we are already thinking about ways to make next year special as well! BRIDGES was honoured to be chosen as the beneficiary of this year's charity BBQ, which raised $2500 for mental health programs here in Hinton! But there's more..
We would like to thank OPTIONS HIV West Yellowhead and Then and Now for raising money for BRIDGES last Saturday at the Hinton Valley Fun Day event! Their sidewalk sale, cotton candy and popcorn raised $280 for mental health programs!
