The Business Women of Moose Jaw’s Sparkle and Shine event raised $25,899.55 for the Moose Jaw Transition House.
“We were really blown away. I mean we knew the event
was successful, that everybody seemed to have a great time. We were
pleased with how many tickets were sold and how many nominations came
in,” said Karen Closs, director of the Moose Jaw Transition House. “We
were really pleased in all of those areas and then to find out in the
end that so much money was raised too for transition house, that was
just wonderful.”
She said the money would be used to start a pilot
position for at least one year of a life skills coach at the shelter.
The emergency shelter usually consists of one person whose
responsibilities also include answering the crisis line. The maximum
occupancy of the shelter is 15 people.
