The Battle River Community Foundation awarded a $1,800 grant to KidSport Camrose. Battle River Community Foundation Director Leon Lohner presents the cheque to Trevor Vinet, a member of the KidSport Camrose Board.
The grant is from income from the Bob and Margaret Prestage Fund, which was established at a Community Builders Dinner honouring the Prestages for their commitment to organizations throughout our area. Investment income from the Bob and Margaret Prestage Fund supports youth athletics or 4H projects in the Battle River area.
The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support organizations such as KidSport in East Central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future.
Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds are kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations.
Since it was founded in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $7,900,000 to support charitable activities in the Battle River Region.
