Hello everyone,
On April 4, 2020, I'm going to pull a fire truck! Whaaat??? Not by myself! I'm part of a team of 10 people who will pull - Severo and The Sophomores! Since moving to Collingwood and area, I have seen this event twice. The community really comes to together and it's a lot of fun. This year, I chose to participate.
The goal of this fundraiser is to raise $100,000 to help people access YMCA programs that they could otherwise not be able to afford. As a charity, the YMCA provides vital community services and programs that have a positive impact on some of our region’s most pressing social issues—from obesity and chronic health conditions to early child development, unemployment, social isolation and more.
Both Chen and I have been members of the Y since the early 80s. Chen would have loved to have been part of the team, but he decided to have another stent in his heart and is no longer able to put that kind of stress on himself - so now I'm pulling for both of us - which I am happy to do!
Will you help me to build a healthier community by making a donation today?
Thank you!
Beverley (and Chen)
