Campaign for Kids held its 6th annual charity golf tournament under sunny skies on September 19, drawing 25 teams for an enjoyable day of golf at the Greenwood Golf Club. One hundred per cent of funds raised through event sponsorship, team fees and the dinner auction will stay in Kings County to support local families in need. The golf committee extends a big thank you to all who contributed and took part and congratulates the team of Mike Mills, David Acker, Scott Allen and Mike Berringer from Kentville’s ScotiaBank Branch on their first place finish in the tournament.
Staff members at Scotia Bank in Kentville continued their support of Campaign for Kids by selling tickets on a Mother's Day basket of goodies. The branch raised over $500 through the raffle.
