October was a great month for ASRAB. I want to share some positive news with you.<\/p>\nOctober was a great month for ASRAB. I want to share some positive news with you.<\/p>\n
Sight Night Virtual was a huge success!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sight Night is ASRAB\u2019s largest fundraising event, which was obviously challenged due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
ASRAB members and staff and Sight Night volunteers boldly recreated Sight Night to be a virtual run, and in the end we had nearly 150 people sign up for the virtual event. Thank you all for your support!<\/p>\n
ASRAB Re-launched! We have sport and recreation programs starting up in Edmonton, Red Deer and Calgary. We will be looking to enhance our program options in the near future, under appropriate guidelines.<\/p>\n
ASRAB has been awarded a grant from the Government of Alberta to explore and develop mental health initiatives in conjunction with physical activity. This is a new direction for ASRAB, and a direction that we are certainly excited about. Stay tuned for more details!<\/p>\n
ASRAB has also been awarded a \u2018Jumpstart\u2019 grant from their Sport Relief Fund through the Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities. The grant will assist ASRAB to develop a systematic fundraising approach that includes fostering individual giving (donations), increasing potential corporate sponsorships, and innovating new special events for fundraising.<\/p>\n
Thank you so much to the volunteers and staff that have guided us through this time \u2013 you are all awesome!<\/p>\n
