Penny on the Roof In Support Of Breast Cancer Treatment at PRHC
/
We dropped by Sears to give our support to Penny Parent who is on the roof to support Breast Cancer Treatment at Peterborough Regional Health Centre. Penny's stay on the roof is all part of a fundraiser called Peterborough Cares founded by Camille Parent. The idea behind this was to have fundraisers going on throughout the city on one simultaneous weekend. Paul Rellinger has been on the roof of The Brick this weekend in support of Habitat For Humanity, as well as events taking place at Morello's Independent for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada, and Wal-Mart in support of the Canadian Red Cross.

The Trash & The Wolf 101.5 Building Awareness for Relief Efforts in Japan
/This Wednesday, The Trash will be donating 100 percent of cover charge proceeds to the relief effort in Japan, which their Prime Minister Nato Kan calls "the toughest and the most difficult crisis for Japan" in the 65 years since the end of World War II.
Also, local radio station The Wolf has set up a special page on their website where you can learn about various ways to help Japan via the Red Cross, and get more information about the situation there. (Their sister station Kruz FM has done the same.)
If you know of other events/resources happening in Peterborough to raise money for Japan, please add to our comments section below or email us at tips@ptbocanada.com.
