This year Access Credit Union has selected two very important charities who will be the co benefactors of our event:

Katie Cares and Ronald McDonald House Charities^® of Manitoba.

 

About Katie Cares

Katie Cares mandate is to help sick kids get past being sick by providing the things needed to pass long days of treatments or being bored at hospital visits. Katie Cares operates Katie’s Cottage a respite home located directly across from Boundary Trails Hospital for people that are being served in the health care system in southern Manitoba. The cottage that opened in August of 2016, consists of 8 bedrooms along with an open common space for guests. Katie Cares also provides a beanie baby for kids going through medical care in southern Manitoba. In 2023, the organization provided a place to stay for over 800 guests as well as stuffies to over 2000 children in southern Manitoba. For more information, visit katiecares.ca
