TOONIES FOR TERRY – Terry Fox Fundraiser
“Even if I don’t finish, we need others to continue. It’s got to keep going without me.” When Terry spoke these works in 1980, he could not have imagined that 45 years later so many would take up his call. Last year 3.9 million students in Canada were walking, rolling, wheeling, running, and fundraising. Last year we were a part of that number and our school contributed $1,794.30 to cancer research. The Terry fox team has reached an extraordinary milestone of raising $1 billion dollars, to date, for cancer research in Terry’s name. This achievement belongs to every volunteer, donor, and fundraiser who believes in Terry’s dream and helps turn it into lasting impact. But that number represents more than dollars. It means lives improved, discoveries made, and hope extended to families across Canada and around the world.
This year, students from Mrs. Turk’s and Mrs. Sherven’s grade 11 and 12 Phys ed classes will be heading our fundraising endeavors. We want to raise TOONIES FOR TERRY. Our goal is to raise $2 per person in our building. The class that can raise the most amount of money will earn Nesters’ Long Johns for their entire class.
We will do our 20 min walk for Terry on Monday Sept 21st during period 3. Grade 9s will start walking at 11:00, grade 10s at 11:15, grade 11 at 11:30, and grade 12s at 11:40. We will send out the route closer to the date.
You can give your donations to your homeroom teacher, who will collect them in the envelope they were provided. Or you can donate online. If you donate online, encourage your teacher to set up a classroom page so that the money still goes towards your class winning long johns. Our school’s fundraising page is: https://schools.terryfox.ca/HolyCrossHigh
