Just
One Person
Thursday, November 26, 2009
Please join us Thursday, November 26th at Scotiabank Place
for a reception dinner celebrating Ms. Tubman's accomplishments
and then see your Ottawa Senators take on the Columbus Blue
Jackets!
Through this event we hope to raise $30,000 which when matched
by Carleton University, and then combined with matching funds
from the Government of Ontario-s Student Opportunity Trust Fund
would realize an endowment fund of $90,000. This endowment,
combined with funds previously contributed would realize a total
of $360,000 endowed for children and youth in our communities.
