BBQ kicks off fundraising efforts for Make CF History Walk in Estevan

Team McIntyre Family and Friends made lunch for the community at Southern Plains Co-op Estevan on Saturday to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis Canada.

ESTEVAN - The Team McIntyre Family and Friends treated Estevan to a barbecue lunch on Saturday at the Southern Plains Co-op's Estevan grocery store.

The community event was a fundraising kick-off to Estevan's Walk to Make Cystic Fibrosis History, slated for May 29.

All donations from Saturday's event will go to Cystic Fibrosis Canada.

This year the fundraising event will take place in a mixed format, with people gathering at Rotary Hall for an in-person walk and others joining virtually and doing the walk on their own at other places.

The two- or four-kilometre walk will take place at Woodlawn Regional Park's campground with a start-finish point at Rotary Hall, where opening ceremonies will take place. Dogs are welcome, but they should be friendly with children since it is a family event, and they must always be on a leash.

The registration for the event is underway. If anyone has a fundraiser idea for the walk, they can message Kasey McIntyre on the Walk to Make Cystic Fibrosis History Estevan Facebook page and she'll share their initiatives with the community to let others know about people fundraising to make cystic fibrosis history.

To register for the walk people can contact the co-ordinatior McIntyre at kdrsvp@hotmail.com.
