A cheque presentation took place recently between Katie Cares Inc. and the Winkler Community Foundation.

Myra Peters, Winkler Community Foundation Executive Director explains now that Katie Cares officially has charitable status, the Winkler Community Foundation can no longer accept donations designated for Katie’s Cottage or Toys From Travis. The funds that have been collected for the Katie’s Cottage project since fall 2014 were officially presented to Katie’s Cottage.
    
Peters says they want to Thank Katie Cares Inc. for the opportunity to work with them. Adding, the relationship will continue as the Katie Cares Endowment fund created by Kaitlyn Reimer will remain at the Winkler Community Foundation and will continue to support the efforts of Katie Cares Inc. forever.

"It's been an incredible privilege for the Winkler Community Foundation to have partnered with Katie Cares Inc. over the past year accepting donations for the Katie’s Cottage project," shared Winkler Community Foundation President Phillip Vallelly.  "Its been encouraging to see the support from the community and surrounding area  towards the building of a respite facility that will help families with loved ones in the hospital."
