Future Fundraising Events:
Dream for Better Tomorrow Foundation (DBTF) introduced a new fundraising event by collecting used bottles, juice boxes, cans etc. and use their recycling fees towards scholarships and other needs. This is currently an ongoing project in Calgary, Alberta and recently started in Regina, Saskatchewan. If you are willing to donate your recyclable items, you may accumulate them in garbage bags and contact us at < info@dreambetter.org >. We will arrange a pick-up schedule from your home once they are ready.
