Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lacombe and District raised over $52,800 for their 2022 youth mentoring programs during the second Annual Servus Walk for Kids Sake from May 16 to June 9.
Nine area schools participated in the initiative. The school yards were installed with 10 superheroes-themed stations that asked questions, presented challenges, and created fun.
“In both our professional and personal lives, we have all been shaped by mentors who have helped us become the people we are today,” said group’s executive director Brianna Berthiaume.
Berthiaume thanks the community for helping make the fundraiser a success.
