Peak of the Market's Family Fun Day

Child Find Manitoba was once again selected as the recipient of the proceeds from Peak of the Market's Family Fun Day. Taking place on August 13, the event was attended by over 5,000 people and featured tons of fun activities for the children, including giant slides and bouncers, pony rides, and a petting zoo. Guests were also treated to a potato pancake breakfast, and perorgies and corn on the cob for lunch. Peak of the Market generously puts on this free event each year in support of charity, collecting donations from all those who attend. Child Find Manitoba would like to offer a big thanks to Peak of the Market and all those who donated to this event which raised almost $9,000 in support of our agency.

Larry McIntosh, president and CEO of Peak of the Market said "We're looking forward to doing it again next year and continuing to grow this fundraiser. We hope to see thousands of Manitobans at Peak of the Market's 13th Family Fun Day on Thursday, August 12, 2010."
