MAIDSTONE — The Maidstone campaign to collect donations for the Canadian National Institute of the Blind is reporting a record year for fundraising in 2014.
A total of $5,108 was raised for the CNIB in Maidstone district during a fall canvass. According to long-time organizer Gloria McConnell, it’s the highest total ever raised. She has been involved with the canvass for 22 years.
Organizers say the canvass was made a success by the generosity of donors, as well as the 22 volunteers who worked to collect the donations.
Organizers express sincere appreciation to everyone involved in the campaign, both in collecting for and in donating to the cause.
