Legion of Riders donate nearly $15,000
It’s been a giving type of week for the Battlefords branch of the Canadian Legion of Riders.
Throughout the week they will present five cheques, each to a unique organization, ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. On the receiving end of the highest donation, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch no. 70 accepted a $10,000 cheque on Nov. 22.
Legion President Gord Brown said the money will be put towards operation costs and to update their kitchen. He said they’re more than grateful to the Legion of Riders for the generous donation.
“Without the help from the Riders and other people it would be tough to keep the doors open. They help us tremendously,” Brown said. “Without them it just wouldn’t happen, simple as that.”
