The United Way Estevan is once again stepping up to support local schools as students head back to class this fall.

Executive Director Heidi Hesselink explained that one of the organization’s main focus areas is helping children reach their full potential, which includes funding several school-based initiatives. Programs currently supported in Estevan include the Hillcrest Breakfast Club, the Estevan Comprehensive School (ECS) Student in Need lunch program, and Muffin Mornings at ECS.

It was another record-breaking year for “Brooke and Koda’s Iced Tea Stand,” the grassroots fundraiser started by two kids that has grown into one of the most inspiring community traditions in the southeast.

This summer, the stand raised a whopping $26,650 to help four-year-old Callie Augustine, who is currently battling B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).
