Goderich Track Rebuild Project: More Support from New Donors to the Track Rebuild Campaign

Donnelly Murphy made a very generous donation of $10,000 to the campaign.

To continue support of the Goderich Track Rebuild Campaign, members of the committee issued a challenge for the month of January to get 2,000 donations of $26 (or more).

As of January 18, the committee has received 103 donations.

“This is a great start, but we still have a lot more to bring in to get to 2,000,” stated Corey Boyle of the committee.

Donations to the campaign can be made by cash or cheque and dropped off at GDCI, on the committee’s Canada Helps account, or if you’re a GDCI family there is an option on school cash online.

Once a donation has been made, confirm with the committee through email (goderichtrackrebuild@gmail.com) or a Facebook message.

Upcoming fundraisers include the sale of Candy Grams for $6 each to be picked up in time for Valentine’s Day. One hundred per cent of sales will be donated to the campaign.

Dominos Pizza will donate 20 per cent of sales in the window of time between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. on January 22.

Boston Pizza will run a fundraiser on February 23. They will offer all you can eat pizza and pasta for $30, with $15 from each meal sold coming back to the campaign.

“The fundraising is going really well,” added Boyle.

“We need to raise about $130,000 more. We have some plans for more fundraisers in the spring, so stay tuned for those. In the meantime, we are always grateful for community support and all the creative ways people have found to raise money for us.”
