Scott Subaru is proud to be a sponsor of the Make a Move with Jagger Foundation and wants to share the news about their 2nd Annual Masquerade Gala that will be held on March 30th at the Black Knight Inn.

You won’t want to miss this event and ticket quantities are limited to 150 guests, so make your move as quickly as possible because it’s going to be a beautiful night!

Make a Move with Jagger Foundation is a non-profit organization who was inspired by a group of Grade 3 students that wanted to help their special needs friend and classmate, Jagger, feel more included in everything they did. Since then, the foundation has supported many families by helping to eliminate the financial impact of a loved one’s diagnoses and by helping give inclusion to those in need in our community.

For more information about this event, visit their facebook page at www.facebook.com/makeamovewithjagger and send them a message or visit their website at www.makeamovewithjagger.com.

Thank you to NOWCO HOME HARDWARE IN LACOMBE for submitting this post

NOWCO HOME HARDWARE’S 2^NDANNUAL CHAIRS FOR CHARITY

Nowco Home Hardware has organized Chairs for Charity for the 2^ndyear and it will run from July 19-31. The project started last year as a collaboration of downtown businesses to decorate downtown during Lacombe Days and raise money for a local charity. In 2018, forty five downtown businesses each bought and painted a chair to raffle off. The chairs were left on display during the 4 days of Lacombe Days and over $3100 was raised for the lunch program at J.S. McCormick School.

This year Deanna Nowochin, who has spearheaded the event wanted things to be bigger and better, so all Lacombe businesses were invited to participate in the event. This year there will be 75 chairs on display around Lacombe from July 19-31. The event was extended this year to ensure there was ample time for people to hear about Chairs for Charity and purchase tickets. The charities benefitting from 2019’s project are Lacombe Minor Football and the breakfast program at Terrace Ridge School.

This year we have 2000 tickets available, with a fundraising goal of $10,000. Raffle tickets will be sold for $5 each and can be purchased at any participating business. You can see a full list of participating businesses and photos of their chairs at www.chairsforcharitylacombe.comor by searching “Chairs for Charity Lacombe” on Facebook.
