The Southwest Chronic Disease Support Group is continuing with their fundraising efforts.

The Southwest Chronic Disease Support Group has been formed in Shaunavon to offer financial assistance and support for seriously ill people around the southwest.

The Group is looking to raise at least $10,000 to be able to begin taking applications for assistance.

The Group says they have had a great response to their fundraising efforts, which includes a Community Garage Sale that took place this past May that raised a total of $8,000. They served lunch in July following the Boomtown Days Parade and raised a total of $2,000 there, and their most recent fundraiser was a pub night/dinner theater which cleared $18,000 including sponsors.

Organizers say the next fundraising event will be a Progressive 50/50.
