Vancouver, B.C.: Dunbar Memorial Preschool (DMP), a parent-participation preschool with nearly 50 years of experience in educating preschoolers, set a new fundraising record with the proceeds it garnered from its Silent Auction event in March.
Held at St. George’s Senior School, DMP parents, teachers and members of the community came together and raised $7,000 for the betterment of the preschool and its children. It was an amazing result and a just reward for the extremely hard working fundraising team led by Fundraising Chair Olivia Edwards.
The night would not have been the stellar success it was without the very generous support and contributions of over 125 organizations and individuals such as Phoenix Gymnastics Club, Talon Helicopters, Westin Bayshore Hotel, Fairmont Waterfront Hotel, Aquaventures, Ziptrek Tours, Splash Toys, Beantown Café, Stongs, MacGillicuddy’s, Halo Salon, Just Imagine and Maynards Pony Meadow. DMP is grateful to all of its sponsors.
Dunbar Memorial Preschool (DMP) is a parent participation preschool that has been celebrating play as the cornerstone of children’s early learning for nearly 50 years. At DMP play is paramount because play is an essential part of a child's life: a child grows, learns, communicates, acts and reacts through play. Our carefully crafted, multi-faceted programs emphasize this philosophy, enabling children to explore their first school setting freely and safely in a highly social, engaging and collaborative environment. Backed by a superb location in the Dunbar Community Centre, an unrivalled classroom setting and a stellar teaching staff, DMP is the educational play date for 2-, 3- and 4-year-olds.
