Rosemarie Colterman & Tom Oak
Welcome to our Make a Statement for Shelter fundraising page!
We are in absolute awe of all our wonderful clients, friends, and supporters who have helped us to reach our fundraising goal for this year! As promised, we (Rosemarie and Tom) will be doing a polar swim in the ocean on January 1st. Brrrr....
Though we have reached the $5000 goal (yay!), it is not over yet. We want to see how much over our original goal we can raise for the women and children who seek help from our local Victoria shelters. For every $100 over $5000 we will do an extra head dunk in the water! Sounds scary, but so worth it if it means helping others in our community escape from the cold and dark...
We're raising funds and awareness for Canadian women and children who have experienced violence and are living in shelters and the Royal Lepage Shelter Foundation is in critical need of donations. There has been a dramatic decrease in donations, largely due to the severe decline in fundraising events. At the same time, the pandemic has contributed to an increase in domestic violence & a decrease in options for women & children to escape their home life. As a result more and more women & children are looking to the shelters to find support, which has led to a crisis situation.
We want to do what we can do to respond to this critical need, and, as we cannot do our regular fundraising events, we need to get creative. Will you join us in our campaign to put abuse out of commission? 100% of all funds raised will go toward supporting women and children living in a local shelter.
In Victoria, The Shelter Foundation gives directly the following local Women's Shelters:
- Victoria Women's Transition House
- Cridge Centre for the Family
- Margaret Laurence House
- Sooke Transition House
