Fundraising Update

We would like to say a huge Thank-you to everyone who fundraises or attends a fundraiser for this amazing little boy.  Every little bit helps and this family is going to deal with Cole's health problems for the rest of their lives... Jennifer will not be able to return to work anytime soon leaving the family to survive on only one income instead of two like they are used to.  Therefore, the time, and energy that is put into helping this family through fundraising, will never be forgotten.  Let's hope that the following events are only a small sample of the ones to come...

PROM DRESSES FOR COLE -

Prom Dresses For Cole took place on the evening of Friday, April 27, and all day Saturday, April 28.  Thanks to the hard work put in by a few volunteers, and the donations of prom dresses by people, this event raised $1183.00!!  A successful event. 

"HOPES FOR COLE"  - BENEFIT DANCE & AUCTION -

The Benefit Dance and Auction was a smashing success raising approximately $17,000 for Cole and his family...  The organizers did a fabulous job and the community support was incredible as we ended up having a live auction and a silent auction!  Special thanks to the committee: Erin Amirault, Holly Archibald, Renee Baker, Emilie Smith, Cheryl Crowell, and Kelly Slaunwhite.

The ATV Rally that took place on April 28, in Chester Basin was a huge success.  The support for Cole and his family was amazing as it raised approximately $15,000!!  The organizers for the event should be very proud of themselves as they proved to everyone that it is possible to have fun in the mud while raising a tonne of money!!
