The Executive Director for Steinbach Youth For Christ says the support they receive from the community is incredible.

Rueben Singh made that comment following their latest fundraiser, which was the Festival Of Friends banquet last week. About 360 people were present, helping raise $33,000. Singh says that is on par with other years and they are extremely grateful.

Steinbach YFC has been around for 28 years and Singh says they have probably held just as many Festival Of Friends banquets. The money raised last week will help cover the cost of their boiler breakdown in January and also go towards general operations.

Meanwhile, Singh says they are already looking ahead to two other fundraisers this year. On May 13th, Steinbach YFC will be the beneficiary of the annual Let's Run. Then on August 3rd is their annual golf tournament.

"A big thanks to our community for continuing to be in our corner, supporting us, helping us and cheering us on," says Singh.
