SANCHAT The Sanata Charitable Trust

Educating Healing Employing

Becky Schaffer Night

25th January 2012
The Yarmouth hockey community and the family and friends of the late Becky Schaffer, a great supporter of our work, came together to honour her life, and to raise money for the Sanata Trust in her name.

In August 2011 we were all terribly saddened by the untimely death of Becky Schaffer. She had visited Restart in 2010 and became a great supporter.

Her family and friends celebrated her life with a special evening at her local hockey teams rink where she used to play. The evening was very moving by all accounts with a full house to remember and honour Becky.  The Coaches and players spoke beautifully and Janice (Becky’s mum) gave a heartfelt account of Becky’s involvement with Sanchat followed by Bill (Becky’s dad) reading a letter from one of Becky’s friends, a young man who had played hockey in Yarmouth side-by-side with Becky. 

In total, an amazing sum of $1,666 was raised for Sanchat. Our thanks go to Jane Gallagher for organising the event.
