Célébrités au service

Le chapitre de Prescott-Russell de la Fondation Make-A-Wish / Fais un vœu a tenu le 8 février dernier, au Boston Pizza de Rockland, sa toute première activité de financement des « Célébrités au service »! Plus de 500 personnes se sont rassemblées et une somme de 1 200,00$ a ainsi pu être remise à la Fondation qui pourra ainsi réaliser le vœu d’un enfant gravement malade. On voit sur la photo Sophie Patenaude et Stéphane Langlois, respectivement secrétaire et président du comité de Prescott-Russell.

Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario Spirit Award:

Each year every Chapter of Make-A-Wish in Canada is tasked to choose a volunteer who exemplifies the true spirit of being a volunteer. The process is not an easy one with an organization such as Make-A-Wish with so many people volunteering for so Many different things. This is our third year presenting this award and Past Winners Include:

• Maureen MacArthur – Chapter Founder
• Renee Bazinet of the Data Group of Companies

This year’s recipient has been volunteering for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario in a big way for over 5 years now. He got started by getting involved as our In-Kind printer, initially getting us well-stocked with business cards, letterhead and other office items. Over the years he grew as an In-Kind donor, eventually expanding to tackle all of our printing needs – Gala programs, tickets, plaques, and much, much, more. He started his own business 2 years ago and has had more free time to grow. He now acts as a Chapter Territory Representative who helps us find new sponsors and acts as an all-around ambassador.

On behalf of the board of directors, staff, volunteers and wish kids – Thank you Gary Schectman for everything you have done for us so far and hope you keep helping for many more years.
