Mega-Yard-Sale a Huge Success!
Last Saturday's 14th Annual Charity Yard Sale was a huge success. The proceeds from this year's event are being dedicated to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre's Northern Cancer Fund in support of breast cancer research.
The event, our largest Yard Sale yet, was made possible by the donations from Cambrian players, Weilers staff, as well as from various members of the community of Thunder Bay. The unprecedented community support, due in large part to the support of local radio, newspaper and television coverage; was so encouraging that McKevitt Trucking generously offered the use of a full-sized trailer to assist with storage.
