The Kids Can Help team raised more than $20,000, which they presented to B.C. Children鈥檚 Hospital at their Miracle Weekend Telethon on June 1.
The group raised $20,085.40 through a variety of fundraisers, including coin drives, a talent show, bracelet sales, almond sales, lemonade stands, Valentine strawberries, silent auctions, face painting, and some generous personal donations.
The team, which is spearheaded by 黑马磁力鈥檚 Sean Thomas, 11, held their year-end meeting on May 26 at the W.C. Blair Pool.
The group members also received a surprise video message from Canadian singer Victoria Duffield.
Unable to attend the meeting because she was in Los Angeles, Duffield congratulated the kids on reaching their fundraising goal of $20,000.
And in the four years since Thomas founded the group 鈥� which now has more than 30 members 鈥� they have raised more than $30,000.
