Hello Playground Supporters! Thanks to you, we have now raised almost $110,000!!!
Our bottle drive in January was a big success and raised $1,086!! Thank you to everyone who continues to bring us your bottles! Since beginning our project, our bottle drives have raised over $9,500 for our project! Your donations truly make an impact in helping us reach our goal! Our next bottle drive is April 9.
A HUGE thank you to Colton & Co. who have raised an amazing $1500 for the playground project through the sale of their amazing beanies!! Thank you so much to Colton and his family for organizing this fundraiser, supporting our playground project and outfitting us all in the most amazing beanies! Seeing all those colourful beanies at school is so amazing!! Thank you to everyone who purchased a beanie, our school community also helped donate 60 beanies to kids undergoing cancer care!

2022 Silent Auction
Last year’s auction was a huge success (we raised over $10,000 for our project) and we are now accepting donations for our 2022 silent auction. This is a great opportunity to promote your business. Your item or service and business will be showcased on our auction site, social media and in our newsletters! It is a perfect way to reach out to new customers and show off your product (and help a good cause).
Don’t have a product or service to donate? Consider teaming up with some friends and put together a gift basket to donate and auction off.
We will be collecting donations until April 30th! Please reach out to briarhillplayground@gmail.com to donate an item!
Spring Event… Coming Soon
Briar Hill Parent Council is currently planning an outdoor event set to take place this spring! Like a real-life, in-person event!!! We can’t wait to see you all IRL!
The Briar Hill Playground Committee will be at the event to answer all your playground related questions and we will be selling tickets for a WestJet Raffle.
Stay tuned for more details coming soon...
Thanks Zoha!
Last but not least we want to give a shout out to Zoha!
In support of the playground he dipped into his own piggy bank and donated $5 to the project. We understand he is busy convincing his family members to donate too.
Lindsay (our playground team lead), told her daughter, Lilah, this story and she ran upstairs and grabbed $5 from her piggy bank too!
Awesome job Zoha + Lilah!
How else can I help?
Does your company have a community outreach program? Many corporations offer volunteer grants or will match your personal donation. We need everyone to reach out to their companies and seek these opportunities out. The playground committee is here to help fill out forms and answer any questions you may have.
Questions? Email us anytime at briarhillplayground@gmail.com. As always, thank you so much for your support!
