Mrs. McGarrigle's Shares in the Holiday Spirit
December 10, 2011
Merrickville, Ontario – Mrs. McGarrigle’s started the Holiday shopping season with another successful Annual Fundraiser for two great causes – Ride the Rideau’s Team Merrickville and the Telford family of Merrickville. Over $5500.00 was raised and will be shared between the two very worthwhile causes!
Owner, Janet Campbell says, “Our Open House was a festive event and a great success! I’m always overwhelmed by the generosity of our community, and with the help of friends, neighbours, suppliers, staff and customers, we were able to raise $5500 in our live and silent auctions. A special thank you to Wayne Poapst for his work as auctioneer! The proceeds will be shared between the Telford family of Merrickville, to help their daughter in her journey to conquer cancer; and Team Merrickville 2012 in the Ride the Rideau 100k cycling fundraiser from Ottawa-Merrickville in September, which raises funds for cancer research and patient care at the Ottawa Hospital
The 13-year-old Merrickville resident, Sarah Telford, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia on April 3, 2010. She spent 52 weeks at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) and received a bone marrow transplant from her older sister Emma. This past August, Sarah was diagnosed with a relapse and has, since undergone a stem cell transplant at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, a place she will call home for the next six months.
Owner of Merrickville’s Face Values The Day Spa, Kelly Chapman, formulated a lip gloss in Sarah’s honour. Proceeds from the Sarah T Shimmer go directly to the family. Over $443.00 worth of the lip gloss was purchased at the Fundraiser. For more information, visit www.facevaluesthedayspa.com.
For donations to the Telford family, please either contact the RBC Royal Bank in Merrickville at (613) 269-4781 or you Janet Campbell at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
