On Saturday, September 28, York Region CAS welcomed the community and hosted a car wash fundraiser at our Head Office in Newmarket in support of the York Region Children’s Fund (YRCF).
Community members who brought their vehicles in were given a full-service carwash that included a rinse, a scrub with soap, and a hand dry with towels, leaving their vehicles squeaky clean!
The fundraiser was a great success and raised a grand total of $1774.65!
Funds raised from the event will be used in support of the YRCF, who works to enhance the lives of children and youth in the care and protection of York Region Children’s Aid Society. At a high level, the YRCF helps provide vital childhood enrichment, educational support, and compassionate aid that improves the quality of life for children and youth in our community who have faced abuse, neglect, or other threats to their wellbeing.
In addition, donations to the YRCF support various child and youth centered programming, including stay in school awards and educational support for post-secondary studies, funding for various enrichment activities (such as sports enrollment and lessons, artistic classes, and other meaningful experiences), funding for children and youth camp experiences, and much more.
On behalf of York Region CAS, we would like to thank all our incredible donors, volunteers, staff, and community sponsors – particularly the Newmarket Home Depot and York Regional Police for all their hard work in making the car wash such a successful event.
