$1100 Raised for Charity

Congratulations KS2 clients and friends for raising $1100 for the local community as part of our Flames Tickets campaign.

Through KS2 client Optimum Dentistry, Dr. Anthony Knight was the recipient of the tickets with an $800 donation to the Canadian Cancer Society. Susan Waters and State Farm insurance also donated $300 to Wordfest, simply in the spirit of the affair.

Oh yeah, the Flames also happened to win that game, going on the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in 15 years, but most people have heard something about that we’re guessing.

In all we received dozens of bids offering thousands of dollars all together, which is a great testament to our city and of course our clients and friends.

Congratulations again Dr. Knight, and thank you.
