Free the Spirit Radiothon

St.Amant Foundation is happy to announce that the 2nd annual Free the Spirit Radiothon presented by Bockstael Construction was a huge success! The event was broadcasted live from Polo Park Shopping Centre on 99.9 BOB FM and FAB 94.3 from 10am – 6pm Saturday, November 5, 2011.

With the support and dedication of our sponsors, ambassadors, donors and volunteers we were able to raise $77,000 to help free the spirit and fulfill potential of children and adults with developmental disabilities and autism at St.Amant and in the greater community through the St.Amant Research Centre. We are grateful to everyone who stopped by that day to donate and to experience our interactive centre.

Congratulations our winners of Winnipeg Jets tickets: Nebiyu Muda, Art Rey, Wayne Cadogan and Gayle Waxman! Each lucky person won a pair of tickets to an upcoming home game.
