CNIB Lake Joe extends its deepest appreciation to the community for making the Cookout with Cuddy presented by IG Private Wealth Management – Throssell Group an extraordinary success. This event, held in support of CNIB Lake Joe’s mission to enrich the lives of individuals with vision loss, has left an indelible mark on us, and we are truly humbled by the remarkable results achieved together.
Guests got to explore the picturesque lakefront estate, engaging in a range of camp activities with VR goggles simulating diverse vision impairments. They experienced a heartwarming time cuddling puppies in the dedicated puppy pit, while savoring beverages from local producers and indulging in gourmet feasts. The crescendo of the event featured a mesmerizing concert by The Jim Cuddy Band.
Thanks to the overwhelming generosity and unwavering solidarity of attendees, the Cookout with Cuddy event has raised just over $300,000 and counting! We are deeply grateful to every individual who contributed to this outstanding achievement, as well as to those who continue to donate in support of CNIB Lake Joe.
