Barry Trotz is giving back to the community today.
His family went to different groups around Dauphin this afternoon giving out money raised during the Stanley cup day celebrations.
His parents went to Whitmore School, the Dauphin Hospital, the Senior Centre and presented a cheque to the Dauphin Community Fund.
"He really has done a wonderful job, and he never forgets his home routes. We're very proud of what he's accomplished," his mom said.
"I'm very proud of my son and the people that helped," his dad said.
15,640 dollars were donated to fund the Lifeline program at the senior centre, and 31,260 was given to create a fund in Barry Trotz’s name for the Dauphin and District Community Foundation.
Whitmore School received a donation from the money raised on Barry Trotz Day. They received 15 690 dollars.
Lesia Jensen is very thankful for the donation.
“It will be used for our new play structure which we are currently fundraising for.”
The Dauphin Regional Health Centre got 17, 650 dollars for their palliative care redevelopment project. The director of the Dauphin Regional Health Centre, Curt Gullett, says the donation is huge.
“What this is going to mean is it’s going to allow us to complete phase one and a portion of the funds will be transferred over to phase 2”
The donation is huge for the project. It will help them buy TVs for the rooms and other items to make the rooms more comfortable.
There will be more donations coming in the future.
