Dawson Creek to hold fundraising dinner to help Philippines typhoon victims 

DAWSON CREEK, B.C. — Dawson Creek will be hosting the Kalipi’s Dinner for a Cause fundraiser to provide help in the aftermath of a severe tropical storm in the Philippines.

Back in October, the storm, called “Trami” as well as “Kristine” in some parts of the world, made landfall in the Philippines in late October, leaving at least 136 dead and many more affected.

The fundraising dinner is organized by the KALIPI South Peace Filipino community in Dawson Creek to help people back in the Philippines who have been devastated by the tropical storm.

Filipino cuisine will be served at the dinner, but it will also be a potluck, providing a variety of food options.

The event will also feature entertainment, such as music and folk dances from the Philippines.

All funds raised will be distributed to areas in the Philippines, such as North/South Luzon, the Ilocos Region, the Rizal Area, Batangas, Quezon, and the Bicol Region.

The fundraiser will be held at the Senior’s Hall on Sunday, November 17th. Doors open at 4 p.m. 

Tickets are $10 each.

Seniors Hall is located at 1101 McKellar Avenue in Dawson Creek.
