Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the event, we had a great night and were able to raise a lot of money for some excellent organizations!!

If you still have pledge packages to hand in, make sure you get in touch with me (in Toronto) or Kaija (in Waterloo) and arrange to drop those off this week. We are excited to calculate our totals but can’t do that until we have all the pledges.

Lastly, if there is anyone who wanted to participate but couldn’t end up coming but would still like to make a donation – that would be awesome. Again, get in touch with me or Kaija.

Check back for fundraising updates in the coming weeks.

Thank you all so very much!

Jenna and the Out in the Cold team

We have had a last-minute room change for the University of Toronto speaker. The speaker has been moved to the Sidney Smith building, room 2117. She will still be speaking at 7:00 and there will be people and signs around to direct you all to the right place.

Looks like the rain may not come after all, which is awesome news! And the temp tonight will be about 5 degrees, which is the warmest it’s ever been for OITC. Don’t forget to dress appropriately, and if anyone has a tarp that they could bring that would be very much appreciated.

Only a few hours left! Just enough time to do a final push for pledges from friends, family, coworkers, and peers.

You are all amazing, thank you for your support with this event and we look forward to seeing you tonight!!

Jenna
