Next week this time we will be finished the walk and all warmed up. Because of your efforts some students will have the opportunity to be in a warm safe home as well. Thank you for your efforts and know that the fundraising portal will be open until March 31st. Looking forward to next Saturday.

Happy Thursday, I feel like today could be used to get ready for the walk on Feb 22nd. Just so you know there is a bit of a process if the weather is bad. More than likely the walk will still happen. If it seems that it may be uncomfortable than we may tweak the walk. If it is deemed unsafe we may need to called it off (this is very unlikely with the 1000 of walks that have happened this has only happened a few times). If there is any switching of the planned walk I will inform you by this email

Happy Wednesday, 11 days until our walk. We are getting very excited. Let me know if I can help at all I can be reached at mark.bouwmeester34@gmail.com or (905)668-2319. I am confident that this event will help our youth have a safe place to sleep, thank you for your support.

It is about two weeks until the coldest night. Thank you for your comment we are about 50% there it can be hard, if I can help at all please reach out at mark.bouwmeester34@gmail.com or (905)668-2319. There are great resources on the Coldest Night page as well. If you are collecting money in person then please use the pledge form at https://cnoy.org/tools/pledge. Is someone is donating by Cheque please have them make the Cheque out to Blue Sea or Coldest Night to make sure they there tax receipts

I am challenging you to the get 5 campaign The get5 campaign is the better, cooler, stress-free way to fundraise. Rather than setting a fundraising goal, set a goal of getting 5 donors! Why five donors? Because getting 5 donors makes you a fundraising hero. You're putting yourself out there in a big way and making your walk really count. You can't predict what your donors will give, but this will raise awareness about youth homeless and help Durham Youth Service.

It is blue Monday. Maybe it is for the red white and blue of the Bill’s. For me the days are getting longer and we are about a month away from the Coldest Night. We are doing great, you can see it on line (some of our walkers are raising money off line). Stay warm and let me know if I can help.

Hi, I made a mistake. The Kindness is free team did not walk last night though we did do an info session. They will be walking on the same day as the rest of us just in the morning and in Toronto. Sorry. Not sure if this is helpful but here is a link to some resources https://cnoy.org/tools. Happy Friday and Thank you for all you are doing. Let me know if I can help in any way.

I wanted to offer a bit of an update. It is 40 days away from our walk for most of us though we have an enthusiastic group called Kindness is free that will be doing theirs this Thursday. What a great night that will be. It is a team lead by Mrs Jackson (Shannon’s mom). For the rest of us we are set to go. There is still time to fundraise and if you know anyone that would like to sign up they can join. Gillian will be working with a team to try to get more students, Alba is working on sponsors
