Elgin Strocien began building birdhouses as a hobby and it turned into a fundraiser for the Brayden Ottenbreit Close Cuts for Cancer - Local Cancer Initiatives Program in 2019.
When cancer struck his daughter, Elgin decided to donate $1 from each birdhouse that was sold this year.
The Close Cuts ‘Cancer is for the Birds’ fundraiser that ran in April using Strocien’s birdhouse turned out to be very successful raising $1360. All of the funds will be directed to The Health Foundation for the upgrade of the digital mammography equipment at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre.
Birdhouses were available at Haas Nissan by donation, and will continue to be available throughout the year.
Plans are underway to hold a birdhouse painting event fundraiser in early 2020.
