BWDSB Surpasses Another Terry Fox Milestone
Posted on 04/12/2022
Bluewater District School Board has achieved another significant milestone in supporting cancer research. The Terry Fox Foundation has awarded Bluewater with a milestone plaque for fundraising efforts that have surpassed $850,000 since the foundation's inception.
This past year, Bluewater schools raised approximately $60,000 through Terry Fox School Run events, which is almost double the previous year’s amount of over $34,315 when schools sought creative ways to raise funds during the height of pandemic restrictions.
“Terry never faltered in his determination to bring an end to this terrible disease. We are honoured to see your family of schools bring the same strength and spirit to this fight. In 2021, our message to schools was to ‘Try Like Terry’ and your family of schools did just that!” – Terry Fox Foundation
We congratulate and thank the students, staff, families, and members of our school communities whose kindness, hard work, passion, and generosity were instrumental in this latest milestone accomplishment for a truly great cause.
