Out in the Cold Pub Night in Toronto!

Date:  Wednesday, November 18, 2009

Time:   6:00pm – 10:00pm

Location:    O’Grady’s Tap and Grill, 171 College Street, Toronto (Upstairs)

Join us for a fun night out, and help support an amazing event! Support three amazing organizations: 416 Women’s Drop-In Centre, St. Clair’s Multifaith Housing (not faith based) and the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty – all addressing the issue of homelessness and poverty in Toronto.

There is going to be FREE FOOD, a 50-50 draw, and lots of fun times! A $5 donation is recommended, and will go towards the three organizations.

The event is in support of “Out in the Cold” – happening on Friday November 20th. Join us on Wednesday and on Friday!

1)Pledge Packages
2)Posters

1) The pledge packages are now available in the WPIRG office (2nd floor SLC, right off the stairs).

In an effort to keep the costs of this event to a minimum, we have only printed a limited number. It is encouraged for participants to print their own.

All of the package material (pledge sheet, mission statement and Families in Transition information) are available online in the attached Google Docs. Just a tip, they print a bit better if you download them into word rather than just printing online.

2) Posters have been printed and will start appearing around campus. It would be really great if people were willing to display the poster as their profile picture. It really helps to spark interest and spread the word!

Thank you for stopping by the Out in the Cold website!

Having organized this grassroots event every year since March 2007 at the University of Waterloo, we are pleased to launch this online portal for all things related to Out in the Cold. We are also pleased to note that this grassroots initiative is expanding beyond the University of Waterloo, and will be hosted at the University of Toronto as well.

Of course, if you are interested in hosting Out in the Cold on your campus this Friday November 20, 2009, please get in touch with us and we will send you a toolkit with everything you need to know in order to run a successful (and fun!) event.

If you are in the Waterloo or Toronto area, consider participating in Out in the Cold with your friends on Friday, November 20, 2009, raising money but more importantly, raising awareness of the very serious issues of poverty and homelessness in our local community.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!
