Fundraising campaign at Regina school ends with an alpaca kiss [Video]

Students, staff and family members of Imperial Community School gathered to celebrate a successful fundraising campaign for United Way Regina.

As an incentive for the students to reach their fundraising goal, the principal said she would kiss an alpaca in front of everyone.

“It seemed pretty easy in the moment, but as the days got closer, I was definitely thinking about it a lot more,” Danielle Istace, the school’s principal.

The students ended up raising just over $1,000 for United Way Regina, which was more than double their total of $397 from 2023.
