The Trent Hills Canadian Tire staff had a great night at the Relay for Life held at the Campbellford Fair Grounds on Friday September10th. Even though it was a chilly night, it was for a great cause and fun was had by all.
Our staff held biweekly bake sales for over three months to raise funds for the Relay and entered two teams into the event. One team was called the Crusaders and the other was entered In Memory of John Rightmyer, an inspirational co-worker who passed recently. The Rightmyer team wore JOHN's name (see below) to highlight his life.
J - Journey
O - of
H - hope
N - Never give up
Together our staff collected over $3,500.00 adding a significant amount to the $150,000.00 plus raised by the community.
Our staff is already planning our fundraising drive for the 2011 Relay for Life and are going to kick it off with a Thanksgiving pot luck followed by a Christmas turkey raffle with more to come.
The Relay committee would like to thank everyone who contributed this year and look forward to another successful campaign.
