Oshawa Hosts Skate Event for Charity
Residents in the Durham Region have something to look forward to this month, as a non-profit group based in the area will be holding a fun event to kick off 2010 this January 23, Saturday. The event also happens to come with a significant cause behind it.
Before the winter season comes to an end, Durham Region’s John Howard Society is organizing a skating event for charity at the General Motors Centre located in the City of Oshawa, taking place from 3 to 5 in the afternoon.
Residents and locals alike can get in by paying the $2 entrance fee at the gate. All proceeds for the event will be used by the John Howard Society in organizing helpful community events and programs like job fairs, counseling, housing services, and more. Those living in Ajax, Oshawa, Bowmanville, and Whitby are the prime targets for these activities
The John Howard Society in Durham has helped over 50,000 people last year, and its workload only looks to increase in 2010.
Aside from great fun for the entire family, those in attendance have a chance to win great freebies, and prizes will also be given away for lucky game winners.
