TB!S Receives Fundraising Award

Staff at The Bargain Store in Fort Frances have been recognized for their fundraising efforts for Easter Seals.

The agency presented the store with a Silver Egg award for a campaign it ran back in March.

Store manager Darcy Banman says it was something staff had been worked toward.

"We're very proud of our staff," says Banman. "All of the money goes to Fort Frances. It stays with the local branch of Easter Seals. Our store has tried for the Silver Award for many years and we finally did it."

The store raised over $1,6000 through the sale of Easter Seals Paper Eggs, the second highest in northwestern Ontario.
