Abby McCorriston<br />

Abby McCorriston, a new<br />

junior ambassador from<br />

Ottawa, Ontario, raised<br />

$60 for <strong>Just</strong><strong>World</strong> by<br />

selling mittens that her<br />

grandmother knit. The<br />

mittens are bright blue<br />

and purple with “JW” on them to represent <strong>Just</strong><strong>World</strong><br />

<strong>International</strong>, and were purchased by friends and fellow<br />

riders. In addition to the mitten sale, she also organized<br />

five days of fundraising for <strong>Just</strong><strong>World</strong> at her parents’ Ben<br />

Franklin Park Superdome. They included an advertisement<br />

stating that “Every half hour of indoor golf bought gives one<br />

dollar to <strong>Just</strong><strong>World</strong> <strong>International</strong>”, with information from the<br />

<strong>Just</strong><strong>World</strong> website explaining what the organization is,<br />

and received many interested customers who thought the<br />

organization was great! At the end of the week, they raised<br />

a total of $623 for <strong>Just</strong><strong>World</strong>!<br />

on tickets, they received a free <strong>Just</strong><strong>World</strong> lapel pin which<br />

Haley and her mom had ordered prior to the event. Raffle<br />

items included wine and cheese, dog toys, Laurel Burch<br />

bags, and blanket washes/soaking salts for hoofs. She<br />

also baked horse treats and sold them for $3 per bag.<br />

Additionally, she made a poster to display at the event<br />
