Dear Triwood Community Members,

I hope this message finds you well and in good spirits as we approach the festive season! I am writing to invite you to participate in our "Triwood President’s Christmas Appeal Fundraiser", dedicated to supporting programs that will enhance our community in 2025.

As you know, our community thrives on the involvement of our community members at many events during the year.  Events such as the Stampede Breakfast, Christmas Community Dinner, Halloween events and more.  However, what you may not have done is contribute financially to the Triwood Community Association.  In fact with full disclosure, I have lived in Triwood for over 25 years and only once, last year, did I ever contribute financially to the place where my family has skated, gone to Scouts and Girl Guides, eaten at the Stampede Breakfast, taken my old metal or electronics during Community Cleanup Day, invited my friends and family to my daughter’s wedding reception, eaten at JT’s Pub and enjoyed reasonably priced drinks with my friends and ………even more.    

So, what I am doing as the Triwood Community Association President is asking you to join me this year by financially supporting the Heart of the Community.   I am reaching out to all Triwood community members to show your generosity to Triwood by participating in the first ever Triwood President’s Christmas Fundraising Drive.  The funds raised through this event will directly contribute to various Triwood programs that benefit residents of all ages including new mothers, youth, seniors and community events. This would help to ensure that programs are accessible to all residents regardless of income or circumstance. 

I encourage everyone to get involved whether by donating dollars to this fundraiser, purchasing a Christmas Wreath (now closed) or Perogies (now closed) during our newly organized fundraising event, volunteering your time at the community hall, or simply joining us for a night of fun and fellowship over the next 2 months. Your participation is vital to the success of this fundraiser and to the continued vibrancy of our community.

You can submit your donation to Triwood Community Association by:

• Submitting an amount of your choice using this link here

• Visiting us at Triwood Community Association in person for a cash or credit card donation

The goal is to raise $25,000 and all financial contributions of $25 or over will come with a charitable tax receipt.  It is my Christmas wish that you can contribute financially either electronically or by bringing your donation to the Triwood Hall.  We hope to see many familiar faces as we come together to celebrate the spirit of the season and support our community’s future.

If you would like to participate or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Triwood at executivedirector@triwoodcommunity.com or 587-391-3991.  

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a positive impact in Triwood.
