Another successful fundraiser pulled off this weekend… (along with a wickedass sunburn).This time I owe thanks to the wonderful people of Orleans. Some who saw the BBQ advertisement via Twitter/Facebook/Word-of-Mouth and those who fell prey to my awesome charity pitch while going to get their water tested. (it was at a pool store).
All in all the event raised a little bit over $400 and I would like to highlight the following people who really helped make this event a success.
The Manager on Duty at Loblaws Isabella, the only one I approached under short notice that was able to supply me with a modest contribution that helped cover some of the costs. THANK YOU.
Gina from Club Piscine for letting me take “advantage” of their clients.
Mike and his Son our cook from Romantic Fireplaces for bringing out the wicked “Pink Pig” for us to BBQ on.
These local Businesses went out of their way to help me out, which in my eyes really sets them apart from the competition! Now go check them out!
I would also like to thank my friends Leslie – Supporter/Photographer of the event. Yannick who spent the day roasting in the sun with me spreading the message of my cycle around and lastly Darren who organized the contacts to make this happen.
Thanks to everyone, now onto the next one!
