North Nanaimo Pumpkin Patch
Every year we host the North Nanaimo Pumpkin Patch at Daynes Park in the North End of Nanaimo, as a fundraising event full of family fun for the whole community. After a couple year hiatus, the pumpkins were back this year and the turn-out was the best ever!
The Erica Murphy Athletic Bursary at VIU is the reason this whole event began.
Our friend Erica was an incredible athlete and coach to many up and coming athletes. She helped facilitate the road to post secondary education and competitive sport for many future stars. In March of 2008, Erica lost her courageous and long fought battle with breast cancer. Today, we continue to keep her legacy alive through events like this one with support from former players, teammates and the community who knew & loved her!
THANK YOU TO OUR AMAZING CORPORATE DONORS:
Thank you for your amazing support year after year, We couldn't do this without the support of our community and we can't wait to see you in 2023 for the 15th Annual North Nanaimo Pumpkin Patch!
Winter Warm Up Clothing Drive
To benefit the Nanaimo Unitarian Shelter and the Nanaimo Youth Services Association, we will be collecting new or gently used items such as winter coats, socks, hats, scarves, gloves and any winter clothing. Fleece items such as pajamas, sweat shirts and sweat pants are also greatly appreciated!
We will also be accepting monetary donations for the Loaves and Fishes Community Food Bank.
Dawn Walton & Associates in the Community
Throughout the year, Dawn Walton & Associates likes to give back to their community in different ways. Because of our valued clients, family, friends and other members of the community, our events continue to be a success.
Here are a few of the organizations that we support through financial contributions, sponsorships, donations and through our volunteer time:
Dawn Walton & Associates Friends & Family Skate
Every year we host a public invite to come enjoy a holiday skate with pizza, hot chocolate and treats. We love seeing all the happy faces on the ice with a special visit from Santa and some of our favourite elves!
With continued trust and support, we are able to be a part of helping these great organizations make a notable difference in the lives of others.
