The two performed the Prayer in hopes to raise funds and awareness to support the North Okanagan Neurological Association鈥檚 Child Development Centre (NONA) in Vernon.
This was also a lead up to the announcement of NONA鈥檚 inaugural talent show, which was slated for March 13 at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre. The first-ever event was cancelled after a dress rehearsal due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
