The Run will take place immediately following a short assembly in the gym at 2:00 pm. Parents are welcome to attend and should sign in at the office. All monies raised through our event will be forwarded to the Terry Fox Foundation in support of cancer research. We are very proud to be associated with The Terry Fox Foundation and believe that our involvement will launch a successful, positive and meaningful school year. We will walk rain or shine just like Terry did.</p><p>Terry Fox was a Canadian who has inspired people around the world with his courage and determination to fight cancer. To honor him and show our pride for this Canadian hero, we would like everyone to wear Canada colors on our run day. Bring out your red and white t-shirts. Put on your Canada hats and run proud in support of cancer research.</p><p>As we have done in the past, we are asking families to use our <em>Dedication Cards</em>, which are attached to this letter, to honor a family or friend that has been touched by cancer. We will post these cards in our school foyer in their honor. We are hoping for a $3.00 donation for each student, however families may donate more if they wish. Donations of more than $20.00 will be eligible for a tax receipt. Please include your <strong>full name, address, including the postal code</strong>. If you would like to donate online please go to <a href="http://www.terryfox.org/">terryfox.org</a> . You can click on the Terry Fox School Run icon, then click on Parents, and then click on Sponsor a Student. This will take you to the school sign in. Just enter Baxter Central P.S and all donations will be sent from our school. You do not need to register your child.</p><p>Thank you in advance for your continued support and generosity!</p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Mrs. L. Greer and Mrs. H. Lambert</p><p>Terry Fox Run Coordinators</p> | | | |
