Walk the runway at BFC

June 24, 2016   ·   0 Comments

The third annual Light Up the Runway Walk will take place Aug. 4 at Brampton Flight Centre.
Participants will be able to walk the main runway at the Inglewood area flight centre to help raise money for Bethell Hospice. It will run from 7:30 until 10:30 p.m.
There are many ways to show support for the effort, including actually going on the walk. Registration is $15. It’s also possible to make a pledge in support of a participant, or make a cash donation (donations of $20 or more are eligible for tax receipts).
Volunteers are also needed for registration, set-up and supervision.
For more information, contact Daphne Parsons at 905-838-1400, ext. 225, or at LUTR2016@bramfly.com
Bethell Hospice is the only residential hospice serving Caledon, Brampton, Dufferin Country and west Woodbridge. There are no fees to stay at the Inglewood facility or to participate in any of the Community Care Programs, and no one is ever denied care due to financial situation. Each year, Bethell Hospice relies on donations and fundraising initiatives such as this to meet the remainder of their operating budget not covered by government funding. This amounts to 40 per cent of the budget, or roughly $700,000.
