A Red Deer company has helped raise more than $25,000 for a Haitian orphanage.
Rifco Inc. held its second annual Rifco Charity Classic golf tournament earlier this month. The money raised through the event will help the Haiti Children’s Home orphanage, which was badly damaged in the January 2010 earthquake.
Last year, proceeds from the Rifco Charity Classic helped build three houses at the orphanage. This year, the money will be used to build solar panels — which will provide reliable energy and save approximately $25,000 a year in electricity costs.
The orphanage is supported by the Haitian Children’s Aid Society.
Rifco provides automobile loans through a network of dealers across Canada.
