Dexterra BBQ raises $3,552

The Dexterra office in Petawawa held a fundraising BBQ on June 17, intending to collect as much as possible for the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Ontario SPCA) and the Bernadette McCann House. Through the sale of hot dogs and a raffle, they raised approximately $3,552. The organizers made the event a bit of a rivalry by splitting the staff into two groups, each representing a charity and challenging both to see who could bring in the most. Regardless of who won, the collected money will be split equally for both organizations. With so many people working towards this goal, head organizer Tiffany Wilkie was humbled by the community’s generosity. Once hungry diners left, the team gathered together for a picture, happy to be helping the two important charities.
