With large events still up in the air at the start of our planning, the volunteer committee decided to repeat our virtual ice fishing derby from 2021 with hopes of a few more in person pop ups if restrictions allowed.
The virtual derby ran from February 5th to February 20th and was open to anyone in Manitoba.
February 5th and Feb 19th our volunteer crew met at the Float Plane Base in Selkirk to serve lunch, and hand out rods to our ticket holders that joined in our day on the ice. Feb 12th, due to some inclement weather we moved our pop up location from Riverton to Red River Cats in Lockport. All 3 days were a blast on the ice!
We were able to present cheques of $11,111.00 to Children’s Hospital of Manitoba and $11,111.00 to CancerCare Manitoba Foundation.
Thank you to everyone that supported our fundraising efforts, either with donations or by entering the derby. We couldn’t do this without all of you!
