“We are thrilled to announce our fundraising efforts for March events totalling $6,500, which pushes us past the $50,000 mark over the last eight years of hosting events to raise money for Guelph-Wellington Women In Crisis,” Queen of Craft founder Karyn Boscariol said in a statement.
The community-based organization provides services and programs to women and their children when it comes to abuse and sexual violence.
Wellington Brewery said the fundraising success was aided by a specially brewed beer and custom T-shirts that were sold with profits being donated.
