A community foundation created in response to the Humboldt Broncos bus crash last April has raised $4.2 million.
The HumboldtStrong Community Foundation took over fundraising responsibilities after a GoFundMe campaign for crash victims raised more than $15 million in a week.
Chairman Darrin Duell said the foundation has doled out much of the additional money it collected.
Of the $4.2 million raised so far, $1.9 million has been given to support the families.
Money has also gone to communities, organizations who helped and scholarships for players who were on the teams that were to play the night of the crash.
Sixteen people were killed and 13 players were injured April 6 when the junior hockey team’s bus and a transport truck collided at a rural intersection while the Broncos were on their way to a playoff game in Nipawin, Sask.
