The North Okanagan Neurological Association’s annual Christmas fundraiser was a big success.
The 5th annual NONA Lights for Kids with John Christmas Light Tour raised $50,258.45 for the child development centre.
“We are immensely grateful for the overwhelming turnout and generosity of our community,” Alicia Ponich, Executive Director at NONA, said.
“This event not only highlights the spirit of giving but also demonstrates the importance of supporting our local businesses. Together, we are making a significant difference in the lives of children with developmental differences in our area and all funds raised this year will go towards mental health and wellness resources.”
