Friends of Sherri Olivier has been able to make the following contributions:
The Friends of Sherri Olivier second and third annual golf tournaments each raised $17,000. All proceeds from these tournament, a total of $34,000, were donated to the Children's Rehabilitation Foundation located in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This foundation aids children with special needs by managing the allocation of funding for specialized equipment, therapeutic activities and pediatric research.
All proceeds from the first golf tournament were donated to the Hickey Family of Leduc, Alberta. The Hickeys have faced much adversity over the past five years, first with tragedy of a life altering stroke that left Glenda Hickey in a quadriplegic condition called "locked in syndrome". The mother of two toddlers was left trapped in a body completely whole. A second tragedy struck less than a year later when Kevin Hickey, struggling to care for his young family, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. This family requires financial support to help provide for their special needs.
