WCG Connecting Westman Tour Raises Over $3,700 For The Boissevain School Playground

Westman Communications Group (WCG) concluded its 2024 Connecting Westman Tour with a charity barbecue in Boissevain on August 21, 2024. All proceeds went to the Boissevain School Playground, a cause chosen by the residents of Boissevain. After a matched donation from WCG, the event raised $3,758.40.

The Connecting Westman Tour is a community-driven initiative that allows WCG to serve its members and support the projects that matter most to community members. The event was held at the Boissevain Co-op, where WCG served hotdogs and smokies with donation-based pricing. The community contributed $1,879.20, which was matched by WCG, bringing the total amount raised to $3,758.40.

Susan Jackson, Co-Chair of the Boissevain School Playground Project, shared, “Many of the playground structures date back to the 1970s and 1990s and don’t meet current standards for safety and accessibility. We want to build something that all children can use. We’re so
grateful that the community came out to the BBQ and showed their support for what we’re doing and for Westman Communications Group. We really appreciate all the support because every dollar helps; we have a big goal ahead of us. Thank you.”

The 2024 Connecting Westman Tour had its most successful year to date, donating over $26,500 to initiatives across Notre Dame, Dauphin, Gladstone, and Boissevain.
