Building on the success of last year's inaugural Girls Helping Girls campaign, our Association is again partnering with Ancaster Community Services to fill a big need in our local community. Young girls in our community need our help.
Last year our goal was to raise $1,000 as an Association to put towards Shopper's Drug Mart Gift Cards to fill the gap in toiletries that is currently and historically unmet in our community. Our wonderful families responded to this call to action and raised over $2,500!
This year we are again asking if each girl in our association can donate $2.50 and one toiletry item (feminine hygiene items are of the greatest need right now according to ACS, shampoo, body soap, deodorant, tooth paste etc will also be gratefully accepted) so we can make a difference: Girls Helping Girls. Of course, individuals and teams are welcome to donate above these requests. Any help is very much appreciated.
We would like to have full support across the Association. The deadline for submission of money and items is Sunday December 10th. Please submit any questions directly to me (outreach@ancastergirlshockey.ca). I will arrange donation collections directly with each team member either via the Team Manager or another designated person (please let me know who this will be for your team).
Looking forward to making a difference in our community this Christmas season - as a TEAM!
With much thanks,
Liz Way
