Toys"R"Us and the Starlight Foundation give to Rouge kids

Toys"R"Us Children's Fund and the Starlight Children's Foundation have teamed up to give back in their local communities.

On November 4, 2010 at the Toys"R"Us on Brock road in Pickering, the Starlight Children's Foundation made a $1,000 donation to purchase new televisions for the paediatric patients at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital.

Thanks to such a great community partnership, our patients are continuing to receive quality health care and comfort during their stay.

Asphalt Junkies rev up for Rouge

You might think you're dreaming of Daytona, but this flashback is courtesy of Asphalt Junkies' Bringing Daytona Beach to the GTA. On July 18th, Heydenshore Pavilion became a northern stage for bike enthusiasts and community members who came out to enjoy their love for sport bikes and the sun-fuelled entertainment.

Held in support of Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital, the event had everything from bike washes and displays to barbeques, fashion show and even a bathing suit competition.

By the end of the day, participants had generously raised $620 for the hospital. Thanks to all who came to the event and remember its warmth. Only one question remains: can you bring the beach back to the GTA in October?
