69´«Ã½synchro hosts ‘Bingo for Synchro’ fundraiser
The 69´«Ã½synchro club hosted their second annual 'Bingo for Synchro' event on Wednesday, August 7 at the Holy Redeemer Church Hall. The event ran smoothly and was a great success as the club raised just over $2,000. In addition to bingo, the fundraiser also included prize draws, baked goods, local fries for purchase, and a cash bar.
' ‘Bingo for Synchro' is one of our club's biggest fundraisers, and allows us to cut down on some of the costs associated with our sport,' said club member Katie Carter. 'We are the only university synchronized swimming club in Atlantic Canada, so travel costs can be high. This year, we raised a little over $2,000 with this event which was a big help to our club. We would like to thank all the businesses that helped out by donating prizes; we wouldn't have been able to have this fundraiser without them. We are also looking forward to our upcoming season defending our title as synchro's top university in Canada.'
'Congratulations to the 69´«Ã½synchro club for their initiative,' said 69´«Ã½Athletics and Recreation Director Bill Schurman. '‘Bingo for Synchro' is a wonderful event to raise funds and awareness for the club.'
