Thank you

The Lac du Bonnet Foundation would like to thank all donors for generously supporting this year’s Giving Challenge.

A very special thank you goes out to our local Challenge Group Fund whose commitment to matching donations dollar for dollar up to $16,000 helped the LDB Foundation surpass last year’s fundraising efforts, and to the Province of Manitoba and Endow Manitoba for stretching funds by 20% up to $4,000.

We are excited to announce that a total of $44,955 was raised for our community during this year’s Giving Challenge. Thank you to all for your most generous support.
