One of the big fundraising events over the weekend was the annual ManitoWALK vs ALS which took place Saturday morning at Timeout Sports Bar.
Tina Kocourek, who has been running the event for the last eight years, called the event a rousing success.
Not only did a lot of the usual faces show up, Tina said she saw a lot of first-time participants as well.
She also voiced her gratefulness for the beautiful weather, and to Timeout, which donated 10%of their sales for the day to the cause.
One of the nicest gestures of the day saw the winner of the cash raffle donate the money back to the group to help fight against ALS, more commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
The final counts are not yet known as people are still picking up their silent auction items.
