Check out this guest post from our Social Committee co-chair, Sarah Waddell. Thank you so much to our members for being so giving this holiday season!
In December, the social committee organized a sponsorship of a local Oshawa family for Christmas through the Big Brothers and Sisters of Oshawa-Whitby. We received a family consisting of a mother, father and two girls aged 11 and 13. Over the span of 3 short weeks we managed to raise over $1000 in cash, gift cards and gifts. I am absolutely blown away by the generosity or our fellow staff members.
Some items of note that were donated:
So thank you to everyone who donated, knowing that we gave a family in need a special Christmas is something that I hold very close to my heart.
