TERRY FOX RUN FUNDRAISING EFFORTS 2025
We are so proud of our ongoing efforts as a community to raise money for cancer research with our annual Terry Fox Run. Thank you all for your generosity as we were able to surpass our fundraising goal of $8000 with t-shirt sales, our ‘Toonies for Terry’ initiative and online donations. As a whole school we raised $14,586.55.
Thank you York for keeping Terry’s dream alive!
