We roller skated and boogied to the best disco music, raising money and had lots of fun at 'Groove And Give'. A big thank you to the students in the events management program at Humber College for approaching our fundraising campaign as their charity partner for this fantastic event. We would especially like to thank Gina Iozzo for spearheading this initiative. Thank you Gina!
$3100 was raised and was divided between a scholarship fund for this Humber program and towards programs and services for brain tumour patients at the Odette Cancer Centre at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.
