The 2019 PRISM Awards delivered an incredible donation of $7,792 to the Moose Jaw Transition House this year, much to the excitement of Transition House executive director Jenn Angus.
Held this past March, the annual fundraiser hosted by the Business Women of Moose Jaw highlighted local women with awards celebrating their success and influence, while simultaneously raising money to support other women in the community.
Angus is grateful for the continued support, as the donation goes towards the life skills program at the Transition House, which helps women improve their futures.
“The Transition House relies on donations like this,” said Angus. “We can't do it without the support of the community and we support hundreds of families, women, children, and community development every single year to help stop violence in our community.”
Over the last six years, the gala fundraiser has collected over $100,000 for the Transition House. Angus was honoured that, once again, the Business Women of Moose Jaw have named the Transition House as their charity for next year’s awards gala.
“What the Business Women stand for completely aligns with what we do, with empowering women, with giving women a leg up in society, and supporting those at every stage of their journey,” said Angus. “The fact that they choose us every year, it's beautiful.”
Angus encourages people to nominate the noteworthy women in their lives for next year’s awards, as supporting women in their successes is empowering in itself.
