The Association Advocating for Women and Community (AWAC) will be the focus of Pattison Media's seventh annual Miracle on Third on Friday, Dec. 6.
It happens at the Pattison office, home of CKPG, 99.3 REWIND Radio and 101.3 The River, at 1810 3rd Ave.
The public is invited to drive through during the 12-hour marathon to donate cash or goods, or support the cause by making donations online. Receipts will be issued for cash donations.
“AWAC is honoured to be chosen as this year’s partner in Pattison Media’s 7th Annual Miracle on Third event," stated Connie Abe, AWAC's executive director.
Funds raised will benefit AWAC's work to support women in the community. For 28 years, AWAC has offered assistance to women dealing with homelessness and addiction. Services include an emergency shelter, a supported recovery program, supported housing and a modified college program.
The organization's goal is to help women find stability and self-sufficiency.
“We are pleased to partner with AWAC as the organization is vital to our community," stated Kevin Gemmell, general manager for Pattison Media. "Their team is committed to a great event and the 2024 benefactors of the fundraising are one of our communities’ greatest needs right now."
Since its launch in 2018, Miracle on Third has generated more than $75,000 in donations of cash and needed items for local community organizations.
