Winnipeg, MB July 8, 2024 — Sam’s Foundation is thrilled to announce WFS Wealth & Financial Strategies (WFS) as the new Butterfly Ball Presenting Sponsor. As part of this four-year partnership, WFS is generously donating $100,000 to the foundation over the four-year period.
“We are incredibly grateful for the support from WFS,” said Brad Mason, Executive Director of Sam’s Foundation. “Their commitment ensures that we can sustain and expand our efforts to make a positive impact on the lives of young people in our country.” WFS, a Canadian business specializing in estate planning, investment planning, financial planning for business owners and medical professionals, and succession planning for the agri-business sector, has shown an unwavering dedication to community support.
“WFS are firm believers in giving back to local charities and pouring back into our community,” said Dave Watson, WFS President. “After attending the first two galas (Butterfly Ball), we decided this was a cause we wanted to be a bigger part of.” The Butterfly Ball is the cornerstone event for Sam’s Foundation. Through fundraising events and donations, Sam’s Foundation collaborates with various youth organizations across Canada to help identify youth in crisis, advocate on their behalf, and provide the support they desperately need.
