Giving for a Cause is a fun, relaxed, social event that pools together donations from people in our community to support and sustain local charities, now and forever. New this year, men and women are invited to participate. A $100 donation to Huronia Community Foundation, provides you with a form to nominate your local charity of choice. A draw takes place on Wednesday, Oct 2nd at 6pm at Restaurant Sainte-Marie, with three charities chosen at random. All in attendance cast their vote to select which charity will receive 50% of the money donated PLUS have the remaining 50% placed in an Endowment Fund in their name. The creation of an Endowment Fund is a unique and important part of this fundraising initiative as it will ensure sustainability for the winning charity for years to come.
