Operation Red Nose kicks off tonight in Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — Starting this evening, those partaking in a little ‘extra’ holiday fun in Kamloops can get a safe ride home, while donating to a good cause.
For the last 22 years, Operation Red Nose has safely and soberly driven home those unable to do so, along with their vehicles, to raise money for Pacific Sport.
Coordinator Shannon Gugleilmini says this year they’re hoping to raise a similar amount to last year’s campaign, which wound up with about $35,000.
“So those athletes that make it to national competitions and have used up the bank of mum and dad, we’d like to provide them with some travel funds,” Gugleilmini explains. “So that’s where the money from the Operation Red Nose campaign goes towards.”
