Local artisans team up to support PRHC Foundation

Two talented local makers, Asta Johnston Pyrography and Christine’s Creations, have partnered to support PRHC Foundation with a special fundraiser that combines creativity with community impact. Through this ongoing initiative, 50% of every sale will be donated to PRHC Foundation, helping support expert, compassionate cancer care close to home.

Supporters can purchase a handmade dog scrunchie bandana and a custom wooden ribbon together for $20 or choose either item individually for $10 each.

Each wooden ribbon is handcrafted and fully customizable. Buyers can choose the cancer awareness ribbon they would like, add a name or meaningful date, and select whether they would like it made as a keychain, ornament, or bookmark. These personalized keepsakes make thoughtful gifts or meaningful tributes to honour loved ones and raise awareness.

At this time, orders are cash only and available for pickup in Lakefield. To place an order, message Asta Johnston Pyrography on Facebook or send her an email.

Thank you to Asta Johnston Pyrography and Christine’s Creations for supporting PRHC Foundation and helping make a difference for PRHC patients and their loved ones from across our region!
