THANKS TO ALL YOUR GENEROUS DONATIONS, THE DIRECT DONATION CAMPAIGN FOR 2026/2027 HAS RAISED $49,836 FOR RUNNYMEDE!

The Direct Donation campaign is done at the beginning of the year, so the HSA / Parent Council committees are able to finalize budgets for the year’s enrichment programs. What we raise determines what is possible!

Come to the next COUNCIL MEETING (October 27) to hear about all the amazing things we have been able to plan! https://runnymedecouncil.org/…/about…/council-minutes/

THE CAMPAIGN IS DONE BUT YOU CAN STILL DONATE TO RUNNYMEDE ANY TIME!

THE LINK TO DONATE IS ALWAYS OPEN HERE

Thank you!!

Please email Runnymede@OFHSA.ca if you need help or have questions!

We’ve raised: $37,305 of our Direct Donation campaign goal of $60,000.

That leaves $22,695 to go.

We’re getting closer, and now we’re asking the Runnymede community to help us make the final push!

The HSA Executive Committee  is meeting next week to review plans and budgets for the year ahead. Donations received by this weekend will help us determine what we can include in those plans.

The $60,000 goal supports the enrichment activities we typically offer throughout the year. If we fall short, we’ll have to decide what to leave out instead of focusing on what more is possible.

So, if you haven’t donated yet, now is the time!

And if you’ve already donated, thank you. 🧡

Help us reach $60,000
