All proceeds from the Royal LePage National Garage Sale for Shelter held Saturday, May 23 will go to the Northern Haven Women’s Shelter in Slave Lake.

“The garage sale was awsome,” said Cathy Jones of Royal LePage, “we received lots of donations from the community and we raised $4016.” 

The fun charity event was more than just a garage sale. The dunk tank was very popular thanks to great sportsmanship from Ray Tardiff, Chris Massicott and Chris Cooper from the local RCMP detachment, Fox Radio hosts Double Jay Johanason, Courtney Murphy and Bryson McGloin with Royal LePage.

Face painting was provided by Michelle Vekved and Jonathan Jesperson from the Funny Farm brought in a great selection for the petting zoo.

“The Slave Lake community is awesome for supporting events like this,” says Cathy, “and we can never be successful without the help from the community.”

Special thanks to: Alimos Pizzeria for donating pizza to sell, Sobeys for providing grocery bags. Herb Gherling from Heavy Equipment for donating the dunk tank, Cat Rentals for all the tables and chairs, Ashley Leonard for taking photos all weekend, Allarie Cleaners for all the mats, Linda Munroe and Staff from the Northern Haven Women’s Shelter, Slave Lake Curling Association for the use of the rink, Aurora Wheeler and Jay Brandle for helping pack up at the end of the day and Northern Alberta Homes for the advertising.

Thanks to Julie Gour, Audrey Emes, Brenda Ballard, Lenora Wheeler, Serena Scharf, Jessica Wells, Jayna McGloin, Chris Jones, Lorette Chouinard, Megan McNeil, Angela Ballard.

May is shelter month at Royal LePage and over $120,000 was raised at garage sales across Canada in support of the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation.
