He is donating another $2,500 to Faith Baptist Church in Wallaceburg.


The contest winner gets to choose where to donate $5,000.


Three Oaks Cabin was built by the Bergsma family in memory of their son Dalles, a farmer and member of the Dawn Euphemia Fire Department, who died by suicide in 2020.


The quiet cabin in the woods focuses on supporting locals in the agricultural and first responder communities who are struggling with their mental health.
