(PENTICTON, B.C.) - Okanoggin Barbers Ltd., along with Penticton and area individuals and businesses, are proud to sponsor a fundraiser to support Wills Hodgkinson who is battling cancer.

The barber team at Okanoggin Barbers will donate their day’s pay on Saturday, February 27 at the end of which we will hold the raffle draw.
