Lethbridge Polytechnic students raise money for Elder Abuse network
Mar 19, 2025 | 1:17 PM
A group of local post-secondary students were hard at work to support seniors who are suffering from abuse.
The students are part of the Therapeutic Recreation – Gerontology (TR) program at Lethbridge Polytechnic.
They spent February engaged in fundraising initiatives and efforts to raise awareness for the Lethbridge Elder Abuse Response Network (LEARN).
- Creating and selling TR Month T-shirts to students and professionals in the field
- Crocheting and selling dishcloths
- Selling claw clips with leather tooling, donated by TNK Leatherwork
- A “till top-up” program at Coaldale Pharmasave that encouraged customers to “top up” their purchases for the cause
