The Backpack Program provides food for the weekends to students who need assistance outside of school days.

We were very happy to see a variety of artists from the mid-island, both DeCosmos members and non-members getting together to support this worthy cause. 

We would like to thank MLA Adam Walker and his staff for providing the venue and covering the cost of many of the supplies.  Another huge thank you to all the Qualicum merchants and all the local artists who provided wonderful prizes for the raffle baskets.  DeCosmos members picked up the remaining costs which meant every single dollar raised was donated with zero costs deducted.

Our appreciation also goes to the Seaside Cruizers who made frequent announcements during their car show directing visitors to our sale and to the many local media outlets who listed the sale free of charge.

Pictures of the raffle winners and a list of the donated raffle prizes follow.
