Seven organizations in Thompson were given donations from this past year’s Operation Red Nose campaign.

More than $12,000 was divided between the Boys and Girls Club, the Atom A King Miners, the Kin Club, the Societies of Manitobans with Disabilities, MKO, Albert’s Fund, and the Troy Anand Fund.

The non-profit Red Nose gave more than 300 rides to Thompsonites too intoxicated to drive this past year, as well as saw a $2,000 rise in donations compared to their 2014 campaign.
