4H LAMB AUCTION gives AMAZING SUPPORT to the LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE SOCIETY TRI-COMMUNITY PALLIATIVE/HOSPICE CARE SOCIETY

On May 20, 2026 the Stony Plain & District 4H, alongside Woodland Farms and Taylor Williams (who raised and cared for “Arlo”) donated the lamb to be auctioned at the Annual 4H Show & Sale.

Light Up Your Life Society Directors, Sharon Cornelius and Linda McCreath attended the event which drew a very large and enthusiastic crowd at the Stony Plain Heritage Pavilion.  It was a new and thoroughly enjoyable experience for both of them!

The Society is grateful beyond measure for being chosen to receive a final auction donation of $7,500.00 from the sale.

Upon presentation of the cheque by the Vanderwell family and Taylor Williams, we were honoured to receive an additional $2,500.00 in loving memory of Barry Vanderwell who passed away in our Westview Hospice.  The family expressed gratitude for the loving care and support Barry received and they spoke highly of the staff and volunteers who helped them all feel at “home” during such a difficult time in their lives.

As a volunteer-run Society for the past 34 years, we assure our donors that the full amount of $10,000.00 will be used to help fulfil the needs of palliative/hospice and continuing care in our local area.
