Help for Haiti from Scouts Canada

Since launching the Scouts Canada Haiti Earthquake Relief campaign $26,606.98 has been received thus far. Many sections and groups were busy last week collecting “dues” and conducting special fundraising efforts locally. The total raised by Scouts Canada members is sure to rise dramatically this week. The Canadian Red Cross will receive 100% of the funds, to ensure direct transfer to the people of Haiti.  Thanks for all your support!

Disney will provide garbage bags and gloves for your clean-up, and this will be coordinated with the Disney Store in your area. Participants in registered clean-up projects will be eligible for prize draws from Disney, including passes to the new Disney movie, Oceans, that will be released on Earth Day.

Please submit your project registration form (here ) by Friday, February 5, 2010, to Melissa James - e-mail to mjames@scouts.ca or fax to 709.364.1639. Following completion of your clean-up, please e-mail photos to mjames@scouts.ca.
