Concession proceeds from all four nights, as well as other fundraising activities and donations during the events, went to Reach Child and Youth Development Society.
Reach has been helping children and families since 1959, supporting the development of children throughout all stages of childhood.
Programs and services include developmental assessments, preschools, therapies, autism intervention programs, youth social programs, and family support and education.
The organization is raising $4 million to build a 20,000-square-foot child development centre on the edge of Memorial Park to provide increased access and more space for Reach's programs to better meet the needs of more than 3,000 children with special needs in this community.
