Food Bank Receives $25,000 from FSIN Dinner Fundraiser
Food Banks from across Saskatchewan received a cheque for $25,000 from the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations Executive and Staff. The money was raised from an auction of donated items and corporate table sponsorships at the FSIN Staff Christmas Dinner held December 16, 2009 at the Dakota Dunes Casino. Proceeds will go to Saskatchewan Food Banks, Team Saskatchewan for the 2011 North American Indigenous Games, and the FSIN Scholarship Fund.
FSIN would like to thank the many individuals and organizations involved in making this fundraiser a huge success.
