Thank you to all the volunteers that stepped up and helped us at the 2024 Kiskatinaw Fall Fair.
It was a great success and the rain was even cooperative.
We give thanks to the Lord for everyone that came out and helped, donated, and joined in the fun.
We look forward to doing it all again next year!
Our approximate profit at the end of Sunday, August 15 was $4,400

On Friday, April 5th, the Dawson Creek community gathered for the extraordinary Night for Hope – Revived! I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who attended and contributed to the event’s success. Last year’s Night for Hope focused on reopening PPSC, while this year we concentrated on sustaining our operations.
In the days leading up to the Night for Hope, we were filled with a mix of anxiety and anticipation. Will we have enough volunteers? Will we gather enough donations? Will we reach or surpass last year’s success? Susan, the Centre’s Administrative Assistant, and I shared a spreadsheet file listing donations, the number of volunteers needed, and tasks to complete. Day by day, as we crossed items off the to-do list, the list of contributions and volunteers inversely grew longer. For every new need or task, a donation was made, or another volunteer stepped up.
Thanks to all of you, the event unfolded with remarkable results. We raised a total of $11,850, which will directly support our Centre’s mission to provide compassionate help to those facing unplanned or challenging pregnancies. Your generosity ensures that no one has to face these challenges alone.
I also commend Susan for leading the volunteers and skillfully organizing the auction flow, and the 32 volunteers who devoted their time and effort to making the event possible. I also extend my gratitude to BCF – Bible Community Fellowship for their uplifting live music and to Kaitlin Keber for her exceptional work as emcee, adding vibrant energy to the evening. Special thanks to Gary Bratt for his dynamic auctioneering, which brought excitement and joy to the night.
I am humbled by your support and blessed by the unity and revival that marked the night. As Galatians 6:9 says, “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” To everyone who joined us as a guest, donor, or volunteer, your presence illuminated the night with hope. We at PPSC are inspired to continue our vital work. Indeed, it was a night of HOPE – REVIVED!
