Fundraising and DonationsFundraising activities take place in the many communities across Canada for the purpose of raising money to help in the fight against scleroderma. Funds are needed to promote greater awareness of the disease and are especially essential to support continuing research. There are many examples of successful fundraising efforts and many examples of generous contributions. We hope to share some of these good news stories in future issues of this newsletter. Here are a few examples: - the Scleroderma Association of Saskatchewan donated $20,000 toward scleroderma research; this donation was made in memory of Linda Shauf, who had served in the leadership of the Saskatchewan group and on the SSC Board of Directors for many years - the Scleroderma Association of BC donated $15,000 toward scleroderma research - a hockey tournament in Nelson, BC raised funds for scleroderma research - a recent gala event organized by the Mississauga Scleroderma Support Group raised $60,000 (see President’s Message on page 3 of this newsletter) |
