Eddie Farewell Pub gives locally
Two local charities are benefitting from the 6th annual Eddie Farewell Pub, which raised a total of $1465.50.
The event celebrates the Schulich School of Education graduating class and brings together all education sections to raise funds for charity and enjoy some classic rock, courtesy of local talent MLC, featuring professor Rob Graham on the drum kit. Graham also organizes the event.
A donation of $1000 was made to Dyson McLaren who founded JYJ Computers for Kids. The organization refurbishes used computers and gives them to needy students to support their studies.
As well, a donation of $465.50 was made to the Nipissing University Georgia Lyons Grammar Granny Memorial Bursary to support the legacy of a great woman and educational mentor to countless Nipissing University students.
Since its inception, this event has raised more than $9,400 for local charities on behalf of the Schulich School of Education.??
