Gail Snyders and the Bevy of Baskets are returning for another fabulous fundraiser, starting this week!
The Pickering woman has been creating themed baskets with the help of donors and volunteers and raffling them off for many years now and this year you can find your tickets at a number of different locations for a chance to win. The goal is to raise funds to help local hospitals purchase equipment.
A breast cancer survivor and founder of the Bevy of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation, Mrs. Snyders has been doing this since 1997. From now until the end of October she and volunteers go from location to location, selling tickets for Bevy of Baskets at $2 a piece or three for $5. The draws are held in November.
This year she is dedicating the funds once again to the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital's Image is Everything campaign to purchase a magnetic resonance imaging machine.The MRI machine arrived at the hospital on Aug. 29, although the campaign is currently just past the 80 per cent mark of its $5 million goal. Gail's pledge to contribute $25,000 in total to the campaign is an amazing gift!
A breast cancer survivor, Mrs. Snyders is very supportive of an MRI for Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital.
Raffle tickets are available for sale at a number of spots in the community, including the Pickering Town Centre, Loblaws and Wal-Mart stores in Ajax and Whitby.
The baskets range from being filled with useful kitchen items such as a vegetable steamer and a toaster to hair products from local retailers.
Although October will wrap up and the winners will be drawn in November, the foundation accepts donations year-round for next year's fundraiser. Those wishing to donate products or even baskets, an essential part of the fundraiser, or to volunteer, can contact Mrs. Snyders at 905-839-0690.
