Dear Editor:
I am the owner of Hair With Care in Fergus.
On Sept. 10, I held a fundraiser for the Heart and Stroke Foundation and raised $4,100. On Oct. 13, I presented a cheque to Sara Felske, senior fundraising relationship manager from Heart and Stroke Ontario Southwest Region.
I would like to say a special thank you to the community for coming out, and local businesses in Fergus, Elora and Belwood for donating raffle prizes for the event.
Also a special thanks to Mary Brown’s Chicken, A&W Restaurant and Pizza Hut for their cash donations, Peter and Bob at Tim Hortons for donating coffee and donuts, Tom at Burke’s Rentals, and Matt and Amy at the Centre Wellington Community Sportsplex for donating tables for this event.
I am very thankful and appreciative of all the special people who helped make this fundraiser possible.
In September 2024, I am looking forward to holding my fourth annual event for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. I hope I can count on the community once again for their support.
Carrie Anne Kierstead,
Fergus
