The St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation has announced that the 2018 Festival of Trees raised nearly $160,000 for the foundation.
Starting off the weekend was the seniors’ tea, which had an excellent turnout, and gave the seniors’ community of Estevan the opportunity to see some old friends, hear live music from the Caragana Ramblers, and see all of the beautiful decorations.
Another returning event was Breakfast With Santa brought to you by Estevan Mercury Publications, which had an increase in attendance this year and is a fun community event to enjoy.
The newest event, Candy Cane Lane, had wonderful results and a lot of positive feedback to build off of in future years. Former Estevan resident Chris Henderson supplied music and many different desserts and drinks were served.
A sold-out crowd attended the gala dinner was a fantastic evening. Live entertainment this year was courtesy of Spenny and the Jets. A live auction was the biggest ever.
“We are so thankful for our community who continues to come out and make the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation’s fundraisers a success and gives us the opportunity to raise more money for our hospital,” the hospital foundation said in a news release.
This week’s edition of Lifestyles will have more on this story.
