It was not that cold, nor even that wet. However many warm hearts contributed to our Lynn Valley Amblers raising $4585 (so far) for our longstanding ministry partner in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, through our participation in the Coldest Night of the Year event on Saturday February 22.
This money came from 71 donors, an impressive outreach to people who may not otherwise know about the
wonderful work that First United does. (For those who enjoy a little bit of competition, we are battling it out for 10th spot of the 31 teams fundraising for First.) Also, we had fun!
First United had a very successful night, raising $125,150 at last count, from over 1000 donors, their best ever for this event. Your team or individual donations still welcome to March 31. Online is easy: cnoy.org. Search on “Lynn Valley Amblers.
