Women’s Shelter hoping to raise big bucks at annual dinner
Organizers of an event this week are hoping a lot of money will be raised to help women who have experienced violence and abuse.
The Central Alberta Women’s Emergency Shelter (CAWES) is hosting its 24th annual dinner and auction on Friday at the Black Knight Inn.
In the past, the event has raised between $60,000 and $100,000.
CAWES Executive Director Ian Wheeliker says while the last couple years have been tough in terms of fundraising, this year’s edition is looking really good.
