Central Alberta Child Advocacy One Day Challenge: One Day. One Ticket. One Child.
Are you up for the Challenge? The CACAC One Day Challenge is in efforts to reach our goal of recognizing all of the children we have supported since opening; to recognize the 426 children that have walked through our door.
We need your help! Our Dream Home Lottery is not just about the big beautiful home, or the many amazing prizes – it is about supporting the children and youth of Central Alberta affected by child abuse. On Wednesday, February 6th every 2019 Dream Home Lottery Ticket Package sold will be in recognition of the brave children that we have the served since opening – and all the children we will help in the future. Our goal: 426 Ticket Packages for the 426 Children and Youth cases we have supported.
The Challenge will take place all day and will be tracked with our giving thermometer. Follow us on our journey to make our goal on all of our Social Media Platforms: Facebook – Twitter – Instagram: @CentralABCAC
There will be Facebook lives throughout the day, including interviews with volunteers and the staff, along with the ability to get social to show support! Posts can be shared and tagged to challenge other friends online, through email and by a simple text! A custom Facebook Frame will also be available for all who would like to participate and give support plus show that you took the challenge!
“One day – that is all we are asking for. We want people to realize exactly why we’re doing this, this Dream Home Lottery – it is for the courageous kids that have to come to our Centre everyday because someone has hurt them. Each ticket package sold gives back the promise and possibility of a healthy future & recognizes the adversity these children innocently faced.” Mark Jones, CEO
Ticket Packages start at only $35 with over $1.8 Million in prizes to be won! To purchase tickets online or for more information visit our lottery website: cacaclottery.ca or call: 1-833-475-4402.

After a decade of leadership under Cindy Jefferies and Susan Knopp, 100+ Women Who Care Red Deer (100+ WWCRD) is proud to celebrate 10 years of supporting local charities and the announcement of Bre Fitzpatrick and Lane Tomalty as its new co-leaders. This marks an exciting new chapter for the group, which has made a significant impact on not-for-profit organizations in Central Alberta.
Cindy and Susan have led 100+ WWCRD with vision, dedication, and a commitment to empowering women to lead and inspire change. Under their stewardship, the organization has raised over $630,000 for local charities by hosting 4 annual 1-hour meetings. Since 2015, more than 36 local charities have received funding through the group.
Reflecting on their tenure, Cindy and Susan stated:
“Leading 100 Women has been an honour and a privilege. When we began this journey, we didn’t know where it would go – we simply loved the simple, elegant, and fun ‘100 Who Care’ concept and thought it was a great fit for our community. We are grateful to the many women who have stood with us. They are the magic of the organization! We are confident Bre and Lane will steward this leadership role well and we look forward to supporting it – just not from behind the microphone!”
Bre and Lane bring a dynamic energy and fresh perspective to the organization. Both have been involved with the group and have been mentored by Susan and Cindy over the past year. They are eager to continue the collaboration, connection, and local support this team of women have established in Red Deer.
In their joint statement, Bre and Lane shared:
“We are humbled to step into this role and build on the incredible foundation Cindy and Susan have laid. Many needs are at the doorstep of our community and in the hearts and minds of our members. We know a powerful, caring, and united group of individuals can play a huge role in driving change and breaking barriers.
To celebrate this milestone and leadership transition, the 100+ WWCRD hosted the final meeting of 2024 on November 25th at the Red Deer Golf and Country Club. The evening featured reflections from Cindy and Susan, the selection of the Salvation Army as the charity of choice, an opportunity for members to connect with Bre and Lane as they outline their vision for the organization’s next chapter, and a toast to 10 years.
