Starfish Fundraiser 

Our Starfish Fundraiser was held on November 7th at the Barley Mill 
 
The event was sold out for the 3rd Annual Starfish Fundraiser held at the Barley Mill.
Andy Virk – owner of the Barley Mill gave us 100 free roast beef dinners so that we can sell tickets and have 100% of the proceeds go back to Starfish Pack Program
(backpacks full of food for the weekends to support kids in need in our community)

The event raised a whopping  $18,462 in one evening!! That’s the equivalent of over 35 backpacks for one year. 
The cost to sponsor 1 child for 1 year is $525.
 
Rod Ferguson from Brentview Developments and a bunch of his associates gave the Starfish pack a cheque totalling over $13,000

Starfish Pack Program is a Rotary Initiative.
