On behalf of the Support Committee, we wanted to thank all the cadets, parents/guardians, and officers for all their help this past weekend with the tagging fundraiser! The cadets did a wonderful job through rain, cold weather, and thankfully some sunshine - and raised over $5,700! Just an absolutely amazing job, well done cadets!!
Thank you to all the members of the public who donated and supported the army cadet corps this past weekend, and thank you to local businesses who allowed the cadets to fundraise on their property: Walmart, NoFrills, Giant Tiger, Foodland, and Metro! The Spring Tagging Fundraiser would not have been a success without you all! Stay tuned for our next fundraiser coming up in May….. Krispy Kreme doughnuts! Yummy!! Spring Tagging Fundraiser Coming Up!
It’s that time of year again, Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps #88 will be out and about from April 4th to April 6th asking for donations from the generous people in our community! Tagging is our primary form of fundraising, the Cadets will be offering tags & bookmarks in exchange for a donation. Funds collected are used for special activities and purchasing or upgrading equipment. We are so very grateful to the following local businesses for allowing us to do our Tagging at their stores: Foodland David’s NoFrills Giant Tiger Metro Walmart Without the help from local businesses, we would not be able to do these types of fundraising and the Cadets’ experiences would be greatly diminished. Thank you so much for your support! The Barrack Room Dinner & Silent Auction was such a huge success! Thank you to all the Cadets, Families, Officers, Support Committee Members, and our Honoured Guests for making this year's dinner so wonderful! The Ladies' Auxiliary did such a great job with all the yummy food! It was great seeing everybody there and supporting the Cadets!
I would like to thank the parents and the local businesses for all their help with donating to the silent auction, and thank the Support Committee members for their time and effort to help put together the dinner and auction. The Support Committee applied for the Ganaraska Financial Credit Union grant on behalf of the Cadets, and their application was chosen! With the grant money, the Support Committee will be purchasing a new fridge for the cadets' snacks and drinks. Thank you GFCU, it is much appreciated!  The cadets had a great time attending the Fall FTX on October 19th, 2024. They learned about tree species, how to make impromptu shelters, how to start a fire, fire safety, and much more! They even got to try out some MREs (meals, ready-to-eat)!
The Support Committee is happy to announce that the Fall Tagging Fundraiser was a success! Thanks to the Cadets, Officers, Parents, and Support Committee members that helped to make this fundraiser so successful! Without all your help, the Cadets wouldn't have been able to raise just over $4,800 in only 3 days! Great work everybody, and thank you!
Our next Tagging Fundraiser will be the weekend of April 4-6, 2025. We challenge the Cadets to try to beat their Fall Tagging record! |
