BC Liquor Stores begin dry grad fundraisers

By Dwight Ford

This is the first day of another "Support Dry Grad" fundraising campaign by the Provincial Liquor Distribution Branch.

It’s now in its 10th year, and has raised over $2.8 million dollars towards alcohol-free graduation events.

This year 54 school districts, including District-60 are participating in the month long campaign.

With donations of a dollar or more, LDB store customers can support high school dry grad celebrations, and last year the province-wide donation total was over $594,000.
