The Cornell picnic gets bigger every year and this year Child's Life was there offering prizes, raising money for Neuroblastoma Research and spreading the word to local Cornell residents about what we have to offer!My kids had a blast on the bouncy castles, getting their faces painted, watching the band, going on a pony ride and of course eating ice cream! It was great to hear from local residents that they actually found out about the picnic from www.childslife.ca.
One of the highlights for our members was the draw for a $50 gift certificate from Markham's Mastermind Toys and a second prize of homemade honey from Forsythe Farms. Thank you to both of these sponsors for offering these great prizes! Congratulations to Cheryl Barbeau and Regina Petate, who were our lucky winning members.
At the Fun Faces booth, Justine was busy creating masterpieces on kids faces. I saw tigers, spidermen, fairies, cats and my son was transformed in to a superhero. I think he actually believed he was one!
The best part of the picnic was that Child's Life collected over $200 for Shania's Sunflower of Hope for Neuroblastoma Research. Thank you to the Cornell Rate Payers Association (CRPA) for generously contributing to this cause and to Renée Torrington for announcing our fundraising efforts at the picnic. Many of the Cornell residents that donated either knew Shania or had followed the story of her courageous battle with cancer. Our hearts are with her family and we look forward to promoting her cause in the future.
One last thank you to Jane Harvey for helping to promote Child's Life and spreading the word about our extensive event, activity and local listings section.
