Telephone City Christmas Party and Toy Drive benefits Paediatrics at the BCHS

Thank you to community supporters, business partners, and Raymond Knight and the team at the Telephone City Christmas Party and Toy Drive committee for an enormous donation of children’s toys to the BCHS Foundation for the Paediatrics Department at the Brant Community Healthcare System on Dec. 21.

Raymond and his dedicated team of volunteers organize and host an annual toy drive involving community businesses, volunteer organizations, local media and musicians culminating in an evening of hard-rockin’ fun!

The organizers celebrated their seventh annual event at the Army, Navy and Air Force Club at Colborne Street on Tuesday, Dec. 12. Donations from the event were used to support community organizations in need.
