Local business, Stampede parade-goers raise funds for storm victims
MEDICINE HAT, AB – It was exactly one month ago when a devastating summer storm ripped through parts of Medicine Hat, Redcliff and Cypress County.
Some local businesses are making sure those affected haven’t been forgotten and are still receiving support for their community.
During the morning of the Stampede parade, Partek I.T. Solutions turned their parking lot into a space to help fundraise for storm victims. The company partnered with The Copper Leaf Cafe, another local business, to sell snacks, coffee and water to parade watchers with all proceeds going towards helping storm victims in some way. Once the parade ended, Partek was able to raise $168 in funds, which the company promptly matched.
