Kara Spencer is hosting a fundraiser to pay for her travel to the Miss Teenage Canada contest in Toronto.

Kara Spencer, the current Miss Teenage Okanagan, is on her way to compete for Miss Teenage Canada on July 17, but first she needs help from the community in the form of a fundraiser on June 11.

Spencer is from Sorrento and attends school in Salmon Arm. The fundraiser, at the Duffer’s Den at Shuswap Lake Estates Golf and Country Club in Blind Bay, will offer a burger and a beer for $18 for adults, and a burger and a fountain drink for $15 for youth. Five dollars from each meal goes directly to Spencer.

Funds raised will go towards covering Spencer’s travel to the Miss Teenage Canada contest in Toronto, as well as her accommodation and meals while she is there for the 10-day event – expected to cost Spencer about $3,000.

Spencer also has to raise $400 for the charity Free The Children.

Spencer’s platform for the contest is suicide awareness.

The fundraiser will also feature a talent show, raffle, 50/50 draw and a silent auction.

Performers with a musical, poetic, comedic or any other skill or talent can enter the talent show. Performers can call Debbie at 250-675-2523 for more information.
