MOOSE JAW — The Moose Jaw Health Foundation held yet another successful Festival of Trees fundraiser at the Moose Jaw Events Centre to raise funds for improved medical equipment at the Dr. F. H. Wigmore Regional Hospital.
Set to the theme of the roaring ‘20s, this year’s festival took place on the evening of Oct. 19 and was followed by an Italian brunch at the same venue on the morning of Oct. 20.
The theme for Festival of Trees 2024 was “Sugar & Spice & Notoriously Nice” and was the brainchild of Kim Waldo, the festival’s volunteer chair.
Kelly McElree, director of the Moose Jaw Health Foundation, said that Waldo “hit it out of the park” with her idea and added that the annual event plays a crucial role in maintaining Moose Jaw’s hospital. To achieve this, the foundation relies on fundraising events such as the Festival of Trees to support its ongoing Vision of Tomorrow campaign.
Look for an update in the upcoming issue of the Moose Jaw Express for a total amount raised from this year’s festival and a few words from its organizers.
