The Badlands Community Facility fundraising campaign gained some more steam on thanks to the Drumheller Kinsmen Club.
The Kinsmen donated $10,000 to the BCF on Tuesday, December 4. The money is part of their $50,000 commitment to the BCF and so far, they have made good on $15,000 of that pledge.
The BCF fundraising cabinet has been ramping up efforts to reach their $6 million fundraising goal.
“We’ve got commitments in place,” said Jeff Hall, chair of the fundraising cabinet. “We sent out reminder letters to put us back on people’s radars and to follow-up with them. We’re really happy the Kinsmen stepped up to fulfill part of their commitment.”
Fundraising plans for the near future will include promoting the BCF brick campaign, where residents can purchase and inscribe a brick to be placed in the patio on the north side of the buildng, facing the river.
The Drumheller Town Council has identified the BCF fundraising strategy as a top priority for the coming year.
The BCF is accepting donations and anyone wishing to do so can contact Heather Little, marketing & events officer for the BCF, at 403-823-1333.
