Community In Motion raises $25,000
Like the inaugural event in 2017, the 2018
Community In Motion was a resounding success—both in terms of dollars and
interest.
Held earlier this month at Garry Point Park,
the event organized by Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives raised $25,000 for
participating community organizations. Equally important, it enabled the groups
to expand word about the services they provide.
“More community organizations joined this
year’s event, which is great because it means we were able to provide more of
the community with information about the programming available,” says Jocelyn
Wong, general manager of Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives and the author of
Community In Motion.
Wong noted there were 18 booths at this year’s
Community In Motion event, including organizations that provide services to
children from newborns to six years old.
“There were also a lot of activities for
kids,” noted Wong, “including a musical performance by children’s entertainer
Marnie Grey. Sirota’s Alchemy also gave a para taekwondo demonstration which
was really great because it really showcases the different abilities.”
Wong says it’s important to remind Richmond
residents of the many varied services available. Many times, she says, we forget
until we need them.
“We’re rich in resources and the more people
know about it, the better we are,” she says.
