Successful Fundraising Weekend

Sylvan Lake News Story, January 15, 2010

Fundraisers - Anthony Robinson, Sean McIntyre and Zachary Morgan were among the volunteers unloading bottles at the recycle depot during a bottle drive organized by Sylvan Lake’s Lakeview Optimist Club to raise money towards a skateboard park in the community. The club held two fundraisers Saturday. One was the bottle drive with the help of Sylvan Lake Skateboarding Club. They had about 10 volunteers from the skate park group help them with the drive. The second was a morning at the movies. Silver Lake Cinema donated a viewing of Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 with 100 per cent of ticket sales and a portion of concession sales donated to the club. ‘Our theatre fundraiser was a huge success and sold out,” said vice president Megan Chernoff, “We sold 195 tickets (at $5 each).” She added, “Our total for the weekend came it at $2,000 raised. All in all, an amazing first fundraising attempt.”
