Charity Fundraising Dance – 93 North
By Neil Lefaive Dec. 30, 2024
On December 30, Greg Somers and Roger Lacroix of the 93 North band made their way to St Margaret’s Church in Midland to donate over $600 to the St Vincent de Paul. This was raised during the band’s December 7th Christmas performance & dance in the Quality Inn Ballroom, and it included a bag of food that was donated during the evening. The Christmas event is an annual one. It is put on in conjunction with The Library Restaurant. One of the ladies in the photo attended the event and told the guys that she enjoyed it.
The 93 North band members wish to thank those who contributed prizes for the draws, including The Library Restaurant. They thank all who attended and contributed generously to the fundraising event.
Over the past year, as it has over the past few years when allowed to, 93 North has been raising funds for the local food banks (from Innisfil to Penetanguishene). In 2024, the band and the communities have donated $3,000. The members sincerely thank everyone. They look forward to seeing you at their 2025 performances.
