Supporting Local Charities in a Unique Way
Mark your calendars for Thursday, December 5, 2024! The Rotary Club of Barrie is thrilled to host its inaugural Charity Fair, a unique, tradeshow-style event designed to support and showcase local charities in an interactive, festive setting. This exciting event takes place at the Bradford Greenhouse on Highway 90 in Barrie, adding a touch of holiday magic to the experience by aligning with the charming Bradford Green House Christmas Market.
The Charity Fair isn’t a typical fundraiser—it’s a “big brother” initiative aimed at providing exposure and tangible support to the incredible charities in our community. Here’s what you can look forward to:
Experience the Holiday Cheer
Held at the Bradford Greenhouse, the Charity Fair will offer a delightful seasonal backdrop for attendees, who can enjoy the festive charm of the Christmas Market while engaging with local charities. The holiday decorations, seasonal vendors, and warm atmosphere will create a memorable experience, making it a perfect outing for families, friends, and community members looking to get into the holiday spirit.
Meet Local Charities
A variety of local charities will set up booths where they can share their missions, engage with the community, and showcase their impactful work. We’ll be spotlighting each participating charity, so attendees will know the causes they’re supporting. This interaction fosters connections and builds awareness, providing these organisations with a platform to inspire and engage new supporters.
Vote and Make a Difference!
The Charity Fair introduces an innovative token-based system for raising funds. Each attendee will receive a gold token they can place in the charity booth’s drop box of their choice. The more tokens a charity collects, the larger their share of the prize table funds. Attendees have a direct role in supporting their favourite causes, and with each vote, they’ll know that their engagement helps that charity raise more funds.
Exciting Prizes
The prize table will feature a selection of attractive items, adding to the event’s excitement and encouraging participation. With prizes generously contributed by our community, there’s something for everyone! Each ticket purchased contributes directly to the prize table fund, which will be divided among the charities based on token collection, further amplifying the impact of each attendee’s vote.
Season of Giving
In the spirit of the holidays, the Charity Fair is all about giving back and fostering connections within our community. With a “winter wonderland” atmosphere, this event provides the perfect setting to support local causes, connect with community members, and celebrate the holiday season.
