Follow in the footsteps of these amazing philanthropic students<\/h2>\n

Philanthropy \u2013 the feeling of caring for helping others \u2013 is important to everyone, no matter how old we are. There are so many ways we can give back to others. Young high school students recently demonstrated the importance of philanthropy and supporting one\u2019s community by organizing a fundraiser for the Hawkesbury and District General Hospital (HGH) Foundation.<\/p>\n

On December 10, 2021, from noon to 2:00 p.m., grade 9 and 10 students of the enrichment program (VAA) from the high school, \u00c9cole secondaire catholique r\u00e9gionale de Hawkesbury (ESCRH), did their annual fundraiser in front of various businesses in Hawkesbury. In total, 46 students participated. The students were divided into groups of about 4 students each and were present outside of 11 businesses in Hawkesbury to offer holiday greetings to people in the community and collect monetary donations for the HGH Foundation. We could even hear music playing as we passed by to say hello. Being in a festive mood, some even had fun dancing on the sidewalks. Especially during this difficult pandemic, their good humour and energy were contagious. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for this great initiative!<\/p>\n

Thank you to all the businesses who willingly accepted to welcome these young leaders:<\/p>\n
