Dear Editor,
On behalf of J. G. Diefenbaker Elementary, we would like to thank the community of Richmond and beyond for our very successful online auction which ran last month.
Together we raised $10,618.50 for our playground. We are grateful to every donor who contributed an item, service, or cash to this auction; and also to the hundreds of bidders out there who made this event successful and fun.
A very special thank you to Rick Ilich of Townline Homes who generously agreed to match every dollar raised during this campaign.
We would also like to acknowledge Army Navy Air Force Unit No. 284 Steveston for their special contributions, both past and present, towards our playground — thank you.
Plans are underway and a new playground is scheduled for summer 2018.
