Lots going on at the Bridge

The Bridge Community Hope Center has been buzzing with activities this summer. 

Latitude 49 Resort Park hosted its annual White Elephant auction in June and gave the $2,900 in proceeds to the Bridge. Rosemary Connors, of the Bridge, said the donation was the most Latitude 49 has raised. 

“Their donation has helped meet the much-needed needs of the Bridge and keep the doors open this summer,” Connors said in an email to The Northern Light. 

The Bridge hosted its second annual Ladies Tea and Fashion Show on July 9. The sold-out fashion show highlighted clothing from the Bridge’s boutique, which offers gently-used clothing at affordable prices. Bellingham resident Abbigale Bott modeled clothing during the show. Bott, a 16-year-old cancer survivor, was diagnosed with medulloblastoma when she was 5 years old and has become active in the Bridge’s community, Connors said.
