Through the 50/50 draw and basket raffle put together by university employees in the Faculty of Education and Music, staff and faculty were able to raise $3,656 at this year’s Westman Christmas Cheer Luncheon. The event’s theme was “A Season of Giving” and saw a substantial increase in donations compared to last year. There were also donations of non-perishable food items made towards BUSU’s food bank. This event is among many holiday charities held in Brandon this year.
