Willow Awards

Our Book Grab Fundraiser is Coming!

For a minimum donation of $20, you can pick up a package of 10 assorted books at the Shining, Diamond, or Snow level. It’s a great value!

These books have been submitted by publishers to be considered as finalists for the Willow Awards. These packages are available on a “first come first serve” basis. Books at each level will be randomly selected and each package will not include duplicates. Each bag contains 10 books at one level, not mixed.

This year our fundraiser will be in-person in Regina and Saskatoon on Saturday May 3rd from 10AM-4PM, or until we are sold out. In Regina, come find us at the Timeless Treasure Community Sale being held at the Victoria Square Shopping Center. In Saskatoon, we’ll be at 125 Delayen Crescent. We will not hold or reserve bags ahead of time or after the sale.

The Willow Board is running this event so that these books can be placed in the hands of children. We are also using this activity as an opportunity to raise much-needed funds to enable The Willow Awards to continue for another year.

We will only be accepting CASH donations which will be collected at the venue. We will have receipts on hand for those who require one, and donations exceeding $25 will receive a charitable donation tax receipt.
