After just one week, the Friends of Presqu’ile are almost halfway to their fundraising goal, to make repairs to the Marsh Boardwalk and raise low-lying parts of it, to limit any future damage.
The group has so far raised $6,100 of its $15,000 goal.
The Raise the Boardwalk Campaign will go until the end of this month as part of the Great Canadian Giving Challenge, which is sponsored by Canada Helps and could give the Friends of Presqu’ile a chance at a larger $20,000 prize.
For every dollar the campaign raises, Friends of Presqu’ile will earn an entry into the grand prize draw, which will be held on Canada Day.
