A local funding project created after a tragic vehicle accident earlier this year has gotten a serious funding boost to accomplish its goals.
Thanks to Wawanesa Insurance, $50,000 dollars was donated to Dauphin's Support Our Seniors Fund today.
The Dauphin and District Community Foundation's Kit Daley met with representatives from the insurer today to go over all the good that this funding can do in the city.
Gord Dowhan works as a Chief Financial Officer at Wawanesa Insurance, and he is looking forward to the good this donation could do.
"When we first of the tragedy, we reached out to the city of Dauphin and the Dauphin Foundation, and we wanted to understand how we could help and make an impact given the time of need and the healing that community is going through. Today we're meeting with the city and the foundation to understand the impact of our funds and where they're directed"
This money will likely go a long way in the Fund's efforts to purchase equipment, organize activities, and build infrastructure to support the seniors living in Dauphin.
