Osgoode Women’s Network raises $3,760
“OWN Ran for the Cure and raised $3,760! The OWN Executive would like to extend a HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in some way, shape or form with this year’s CIBC Run for the Cure 2015. As a student club at Osgoode, we were able to raise $3,760, which surpasses last year’s fundraising efforts by over $1,000! $317 was raised from the jars we passed around to the first year classes alone! Across Canada, the Run for the Cure raised an estimated $21.5 million, bringing us that much closer to finding a cure. So, once again, thank you to everyone who participated! Our next big community initiative will be our clothing drive during the week of October 26th. During the clothing drive, we will be collecting gently-used professional clothing for the organization, Dress for Success. We have partnered with Goodmans LLP who is helping to coordinate the event and recruit other firms. So far, a number of firms, have generously agreed to make donations, including: Goodmans, Fasken Martineau, Davies, BLG, Bennett Jones, Stikeman Elliot and Cassels Brock. We hope that the Osgoode staff, faculty and student body will also help out as well by bringing in their previously owned professional attire during the week of October 26th! We will have a clothing donation box situated outside of the admissions office (across from the library doors) during that week.
Thank you again for helping us in our drive towards maintaining and increasing our commitment to community initiatives.
With gratitude,
Your 2015-2016 OWN Executive
