Last year the local event raised a whop- ping $25,77! for Camp Trillium - designed for cbldren aftlicted with cancer - and chair Ken Hassard has no doubts that even more support will corne this time around. "I'm not the kind of person who sets specific goals, but we definitely look to exceed last year's total," he aaid of the February 26 and 27 bonapiel at Milton Curling Club. 'We were absolutely surpnised by the response last year. Haîf the people who came out weren't even regular curlers." A total of 32 rinks have already signed up to compete at the fundraising tourna- ment, which will once again enjoy tremen- doua sponsorship from the community. Saiti Hassard, "Our aim is to raise money, not apend money. Everything is donated to us, right down to the refresh- ments.", While the event h as reached its capacity in termns of team entries, indivîduals and businesses can stili make a contribution. In addition to supporting a curler through a pletige, you cati buy a rock for $25, buy a sheet of ice for $100 or buy the end of a rink for $250. Another way to help out is by participat- ing in the silent and live auction, either by donating an item or purchasing one. "We're going to have some very unique and inteoesting items on the block includ- ing a 15-minute aerobaties flying lesson with champion aviator Roger Hadfield," said Hassard. Anyone who wishes to support the Cur 4 Cancer event can do so by calling Ken Hassard at 878-823 1.
