Earthquake Fundraising
WCDSB has a long tradition of fundraising to assist relief efforts when natural disasters strike.
The devastation of the recent earthquake in Turkey and Syria has once again called us to action.
While rescue and recovery efforts continue, it has already been confirmed that more than 35,000 people have died.
Many thousands more — including many current refugees — are in desperate need of shelter, food, clean water, and medicine.
Consequently, the Senior Team and Board of Trustees would like to invite all WCDSB students and staff to participate in a centralized fundraising campaign via the Canadian Red Cross (operating under the umbrella of the International Red Cross).
Donations of ANY AMOUNT will support the range of emergency services the Red Cross is delivering to those in need including interim housing, clothing, food, and other essential supplies.
All fundraising efforts will be collected centrally using the following link: Donations – Earthquake in Turkey & Syria
How to Participate:
- The deadline to participate is Friday, March 10
- The link will deposit the funds into a central board office account
- Individuals can use their existing SchoolCash account or checkout as a Guest. A SchoolCash account is not required.
