This week, Lisa Trusler presented the White House with $976 that was raised from her Nelson Rugby Football Club fundraiser earlier this month.
Lisa’s aim was to get a coin trail around the perimeter of Trafalgar Park. While the goal fell short, the club managed to raise just short of $1000 to support mental health in the region.
She says she chose the White House as the recipient because of their open-door policy.
The White House visitors began discussions about what to use the money for, with Lisa suggesting it be put towards helping more people hear about the services they provide.
