Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB) recently held two fundraising events in support of the Board’s Feed All Four Fund.
The Feed All Four Fund provides direct support to students and families in our communities who may be struggling. Funds are accessed through the school principal and the process is fast and confidential, allowing families access to what they need, when they need it the most.
The Board held its first-ever, staff-wide online silent auction from May 24 to June 8. All staff were invited to participate and bid on an array of 40 auction items with some of these being student and/or staff created! In total, 1,032 staff perused the auction and 230 bids were placed over the two-week period.
The second annual TLDSB Golf Tournament took place on June 8 at Muskoka Highlands Golf Course in Bracebridge. 64 golfers, which included trustees, senior administration, principals/vice-principals, community partners, central Board staff, and friends spent the day on the course playing 18 holes.
Together, these fundraisers gained a total of $12,451.10. This could not have been possible without the contributions of TLDSB staff and partners who donated to the auction and those who participated in the golf tournament. Thank you to everyone who participated!
Through fundraisers such as these, and the generosity of donations from staff and community partners, the Feed All Four Fund has been able to provide gift cards and services directly to TLDSB students and families since December 2020. We continue to have an overwhelming number of families requiring support, with over 190 requests for assistance coming in since the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year alone.
