The Rivers Grads 2026 have been fundraising a lot so far this year.

They held a mini golf tournament at CJ’s Snack Shop at the lake in August. Sue and Lorne Green of CJ’s had specials on some of their food and ice cream with half the proceeds given to the grads. They had over ten teams participate in the tournament, and they gave out prizes to the top four teams. This event brought in $1700.

November the grads held a bottle drive. The students went around town and out to Chimo collecting and then a small group of students and parents sorted and counted the cans/ bottles over at Ron and Season Chiboraks home. The grads took them to the Rivers Super Thrifty the next day. They raised $1000 from the bottle drive.
