EC Montreal held its 14th annual charity bake sale today. We continue to raise funds for the Shriner’s Hospital for Sick Children. When we visited them several years ago we were so impressed by the work they did and the care they give to children all over the world. There were also so appreciative of our fundraising efforts that we decided to devote our time and money to this compassionate institution.
We began with our bake sale at 10:30 a.m. Staff, Homestays and teachers baked or bought sweets to be sold. We had so many wonderful goodies! They were beautifully displayed and looked too good to pass up!
We also sold raffle tickets to win amazing prizes! The prizes consisted of beauty products, wine bottles, gift baskets, ski tickets and other goodies. The prizes were all donated by staff and vendors we work with. We pulled out the names this afternoon and will be surprising the winners in class tomorrow!
At the end of the day we added up all our earnings and are happy to announce that EC Montreal raised a little under $550 for the Shriner’s Hospital! A world of thanks to all the staff, students and homestays who generously donated!
I am sure our students taking EC Language School in Montreal would agree that giving feels so good!
