You'd look great on my team!
For the next few weeks, I'm investing some of my time fundraising for an event I'm involved with - the Coldest Night of the Year.
I'm emailing to ask you to consider joining our team - Greenbank Seagrave Walkers and walk with us on Saturday, February 25.
The Coldest Night of the Year is a walk that raises money for folks in our community who need our help. Some of them hungry, more than a few hurting and regrettably, some who are homeless too. Adults, moms and kids, seniors and youth as well.
CNOY is a lot of fun and so valuable - would you join me? Just click our team page link below to begin.
P.S. Last year, over 31,000 walkers across Canada joined this event raising just under $12 million dollars - it's Canada's National Walk for Homelessness.
The Coldest Night of the Year is operated by Blue Sea Foundation
(CRA #819882655RR0001)
