A fundraiser at a Dauphin church on Sunday exceeded expectations.
A fundraising brunch was held at the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Dauphin, with funds going towards the erection of a bronze Compassion statue.
Local UCWL president Shirley Novalkowski says they had over 157 people attend and raised more than $10,000.
The Ukrainian Catholic Women's League of Dauphin sponsored $2,800 for the brunch.
The Compassion statue is expected to be unveiled sometime next summer.
-------
Previously, CKDM had reported that only a portion of the funds raised was going towards the statue, but instead, all of the money raised will be donated. Also, Shirley Novalkowski is the President of the UCWL of Dauphin, not of the Ukrainian Catholic Church.
We apologize for the mistakes.
