Recently the Canadian Red Cross in Manitoba and Manitoba Lotteries teamed up with singer/songwriter Sierra Noble, and the winners of Canada’s Got Talent, Sagkeeng’s Finest, for a special benefit concert.
The concert was an initiative to help create awareness and raise funds for programming in Aboriginal communities across Manitoba such as: Injury Prevention, Water Safety & Swimming Lessons and Walking the Prevention Circle: Violence and Abuse Prevention.
Sierra’s smooth vocals left the audience feeling inspired, as for Sagkeeng’s Finest, well, let’s just say wow those boys can jig! We’ve had nothing but positive feedback, and we are so pleased that this event turned out the way it did.
Thank you to everyone who attended, and to those that helped make this evening possible.
