PRINCE GEORGE – Evie Erickson Murdock is an ambitious ninth-grader at DP Todd, who wants to own and operate her own bakery one day. However, an opportunity presented itself sooner and it was a moment she quickly jumped on.

“We had a conversation with Eve, she had mentioned how much she had wanted to own and operate a bakery,” Explained Erica Mclean, who is the Community School Coordinator at DP Todd.

Mclean said she had knowledge of a grant funding program for youth. The McCreary Centre Society supplies Youth action grants to students across the Province. The purpose of the YAGs is to provide BC youth (ages 12–19) from school districts that participated in the 2018 BC Adolescent Health Survey the opportunity to deliver a project to improve youth health in their school or community.

Evie Chose The Red Dress Society of Prince George as her cause.

“It’s a touchy subject, to say the least, and just wanted to [sic] like raise awareness and I wanted to give the money back instead of keeping it. I thought that was more important than keeping the money to myself.”

Eve and her kitchen helpers raised nearly $500 with her bakery sale. She sold several different simple items from brownies to sugar cookies and ice cream.

On Thursday, She and her teammates presented a check to The Red Dress Society of Prince George.

” When the society got a call yesterday (Wednesday), from the school and explained to us that this young lady, who choose to donate the proceeds of her bakery to The Red Dress Campaign. I can’t even tell you how incredibly full our hearts were,” said Tammy Gatzke-Meise from The Red Dress Society.
