GUELPH — Charitable initiatives around Guelph will have a little more support after an endowment growing charity raises $23,000.
That’s the amount raised by Guelph Community Foundation’s Around Downtown event, held on Sept. 25.
More than 80 people participated in the afternoon event trying food and drink at some of the best restaurants in downtown Guelph, and in doing so, contributed to local businesses.
After their tour of Guelph restaurants, participants attended a silent auction with 50 items and eight prizes.
The event was possible due to participants, volunteers, sponsors and donors.
The Guelph Community Foundations takes donations to invest in endowments which are used to support many programs.
