Funds raised go towards the Zebra Centre
Our current raffle is to raise funds to the Zebra Centre:

Edmonton’s Zebra Child & Youth Advocacy Centre is here for children and youth. Together with their partners, they work towards the common goals of supporting children and youth who have experienced abuse and creating a future where every child and youth is heard.

Zebra Centre will direct our donation towards their “soft comforts” for children and youth who visit the Zebra Centre. This includes toys, clothing and snacks which they provide, trying to meet whatever needs the child has while they are being supported by Zebra and also to bolster their courage with a selection from our toy room after they complete a support such as disclose what happened to them or meet with a prosecutor to prepare for court.
