Toonies for New Tecumseth, a local initiative to raise money for the Tottenham Food Bank and S.H.I.F.T. in Alliston, will hold a special fundraiser this weekend at the Tottenham Legion.
Tottenham resident, Eva Bradley, is behind Toonies for New Tecumseth as her latest fundraising effort.
In the past, Ms. Bradley has helped raise money for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Lions Club, the local animal shelter, Matthews House Hospice and Stevenson Memorial Hospital.
The theme for this fundraiser comes from the notion of “how much could be raised if every household in town donated just one Toonie to the cause,” Ms. Bradley said.
The fundraiser got underway on Feb. 1, with the help of Eva’s friend, Chrystal Robertson. She plans to continue fundraising until Nov. 17, with the goal of raising $10,000.
There are several events planned over the next few months. Eva and Chrystal will be at the Beeton Honey Festival on May 25.
This coming weekend, Toonies for New Tecumseth will have a bake sale, and silent auction, as well as a raffle a the Tottenham Legion.
The Legion is located on Richmond St. E. and the bake sale takes place Saturday, April 27, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
