NEWS RELEASE
GILDA’S CLUB OF SIMCOE MUSKOKA
*********************************
When can $20 multiple itself over 1,500 times? When our community bands together to support the Raw and Reflective 2020 calendar and the individuals going through or recovering from cancer in Simcoe County.
Please join us:
Date: Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2020
Time: 10:30 a.m. for the announcement
Location: At City Hall Rotunda, 70 Collier St., Barrie
Mayor Lehman will join the Raw and Reflective participants and Gilda’s Club of Simcoe Muskoka.
Please join us as we celebrate our overwhelming community response and thank our media and corporate sponsors and the people of Simcoe County who generously supported cancer patients and survivors as we announce the results of this campaign.
It truly does take a village to support what has now become an epidemic of one in two people who will be diagnosed by cancer in their lifetime. Cancer rates continue to rise.
The Raw and Reflective Committee, the photographers, cancer survivors who modelled for the calendar, Gilda’s Club, and corporate and media sponsors wish to thank the people who proudly display their 2020 Raw and Reflective calendar on their walls – in homes and offices all across Simcoe County.
About the Calendar project
Spearheaded by local entrepreneur Sharon Smith in the fall of 2018, the Raw and Reflective calendar features 13 models, 14 of Barrie’s most accomplished photographers and videographers, a graphic designer, an editor and a dedicated volunteer committee who brought this project together to raise funds for Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka. The project has been sponsored by a number of generous firms in Barrie and across the county. It takes a village – just as it does to deal with cancer.
