Funds raised from this event are returned to the community through donations to the Sunrise Early Learning and Teen Support Centre, Weyburn Special Care Home, the Salvation Army, Envision Counselling, Weyburn Care-A-Van and many others.
The Quota also supports hearing and speech through donations of FM hearing systems to schools, daycares and long-term care centres, and they support a Southeast College scholarship and an award at the Weyburn Music Festival. The Quota has also supported the Festival of Carols for the past 66 years.
