Sugar Cane Ball 2022 (Part 2)
Tuesday Social
Unable to host an in-person event last year, Hanover Charities took its fund-raising efforts online. Though the annual Sugar Cane Ball raises much of the funds used to fuel the foundation’s work, it could still provide 207 tertiary-level scholarships and distribute over 20,000 packages of food to needy Hanover residents in 2021.
Last Saturday, February 19, the Sugar Cane Ball returned.
Though attendees were in a festive mood, they did not forget the evening’s mission and why they were there. Wallets and pocketbooks were flung open; supporters wrote cheques and made substantial pledges. Fun fact: Some attendees purchased US$5,000 worth of raffle tickets. The air was electric!
