WEYBURN - Inclusion Weyburn received a donation of $1,000 on Wednesday afternoon from Weyburn Dodge, part of the proceeds of the Mopar Madness car show and barbecue held on Aug. 10.
The dealership held a car show in front of their location on First Avenue, with a barbecue and activities for children.
Accepting the donation were Jackie Wilson of Inclusion Weyburn, along one of the teen participants in Inclusion’s summer camp, Owen Bell, and his parents, James and Cheryl Bell. James is a partner with Jeff Tosczak in the Weyburn Dodge dealership.
Wilson noted these funds will go towards the summer camps, which had around 30 children enrolled this year.
There were four camps held, one in conjunction with the City of Weyburn’s Fun in the Sun program at the Leisure Centre; the Spark camp at the Credit Union Spark Centre; the Family Place; and a teen camp.
She pointed out that before 2018, there was no camp available for children with intellectual disabilities.
The Bell family lives in Arcola, so it’s an hour’s drive in to Weyburn for Owen to take part in the teen camp, and this was his first year to be a part of it.
