The Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society’s first annual Spelling Bee Fundraiser was a huge success! With the help of our sponsors and volunteers, we raised $13,000 and had a lot of fun doing it.
The winner of the inaugural Team Spelling Bee Fundraiser was the Kween Beez team, made up of these members of a local book club: Suzy Beckner, Dr. Daphne Brown of Active Chiropractic, Debbie Phillips, Shannon Murrells-Allaway, Laura Hepburn, Sue Dulley, Andrea Pyle, and Madeleine Eames. The winners received a plaque with their team name, a gift bag, and gift cards to Bookingham Palace bookstore in the Piccadilly Mall, as well as bragging rights!
Our sponsors have really shown how much they care about literacy in our community, and we want to take this opportunity to thank them. Because of the money they donated we can keep our invaluable literacy programs up and running for another year. Thank you again to our wonderful sponsors:
