or Come On Down and join us at Renfrew Collegiate Grant Gym
New for 2012: As an alternative to calling in, you can send us
your pledge online - these will be treated just
like a phone pledge in that it will count for any blitz if the date/time stamp of
your submission falls within the hourly three-minute blitz time frame. Pledges
of $100.00 or more will entitle you to entry into our special Angel Prize Draw. It's quick and easy - the system
will prompt you for all the necessary information and will send you a confirmation
via e-mail when you're. You may honour your
pledge using any of the options available for telephone pledges and a receipt will
be issued on the same basis.
Beginning 1 October, a link will appear in this space as well as on the home page
to allow direct access to the Online Pledge Submission page. |

Operating a service such as Sunshine Coach is a very expensive proposition
in today's uncertain economy. Charging our clients for the actual operating
cost of trips would almost certainly make the service cost prohibitive for most
of the people we serve. It is a necessity therefore to provide for shortfalls
not covered by fares through the form of community fund raising and government subsidies.
The purpose of our Telethon is to reach out to you the public and seek your support
in assisting us to continue this valuable service to those among our community who
need it urgently. Your donations are critical to the continued viability of
Sunshine Coach and are appreciated beyond what words can express.
