Saskatchewan REALTORS recently gathered at the Sheraton Saskatoon for their 2nd annual Legacy Gala.
Part of the Quality of Life in Saskatchewan initiative, the funds raised at the Gala, are collected to provide grants to six worthy charities from across the province every year through the Association of Saskatchewan REALTORS (ASR) Legacy Grant Program.
The 2014 recipients - which include one from Yorkton - are:
Yorkton Women in Need Inc. to provide household items to 20 families when they are ready to depart from Shelwin house.
Riverside Mission Inc. in Moose Jaw to purchase a walk-in freezer unit for the soup kitchen to allow them to buy more bulk food and keep it longer.
Battleford and Area Sexual Assault Centre to help operate a 10-week Teen Girl Empowerment Group.
Rose Garden Hospice Association in Prince Albert to help with the planning process of a vision to build and operate a 10-bed hospice.
Saskatoon Society for the Protection of Children Inc. to help provide the programming for the children who stay at the crisis nursery.
Regina Sexual Assault Centre to create and deliver a puppet program for kids to learn how to recognize and talk about abuse.
The Legacy Grant Program will be receiving applications again in early 2015.
