The Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce have fulfilled its five-year commitment to the Badlands Community facility, making its final installment of a $250,000 gift.
The chamber held its annual mixer on Tuesday, December 4. At the event, the Chamber presented members of the Badlands Community Facility Fundraising Cabinet with a cheque for $50,000.
These funds are generated through the World’s Largest Dinosaur Legacy Fund. This fund was established to give back to the community by reinvesting a portion of the funds generated by the World’s Largest Dinosaur and giftshop back into the community.
According to a release, each month 15 per cent of its revenues from admission and giftshop sales are directed to the funds, which support community economic development initiatives. To date it has given $550,000 back to the community though this fund.
