CONGRATULATIONS to our very own Pam Prescott for being honoured at last week’s Mulligans & Mascara Ladies Legacy Golf Tournament for her long-standing support and contributions to Easter Seals Ontario. Pam accepted the role of Honorary Legacy Chair and was recognized as a female achieving successful career goals and inspiring others to support Easter Seals .
This event ran from May 1 - June 14, 2021. We walked, ran, jogged, strolled, cycled, rolled - however we could to reach a total of 221 km over 45 days and raise money toward the C21 Heritage Group TEAM goal of $10,000.
We smashed our goals and exceeded $18,000 in fundraising and 15 out of 22 team members reached the 221 km goal. It was not an easy goal to reach for many of us. However, as a team we averaged over 235 km each and that's what a true team effort is.
Additionally, there were FIVE participants on the team who reached Golden Heart Award status. Congratulations to all!
A big THANK YOU to all participants, sponsors, and supporters because the ultimate goal was to help the Easter Seals kids/youth and without all of you, we couldn't have done it.
You too can become a Century 21 Golden Heart Award recipient. Just raise a minimum of $2,100 in a calendar year. Let everyone know how passionate you are about Easter Seals and how important it is to help others - especially those less fortunate.
Through your kindness, commitment and generosity, hundreds of kids are able to experience fun, friendship and independence at Easter Seals' fully accessible camps. Help them connect with fellow campers and participate in activities through Camp Easter Seals, our new virtual camp program.
Get started by letting your office know how enthusiastic you are. We can help you achieve Golden Heart Award status sooner than you think.
