Heather’s Hootenanny for Hope

Moose Winooski’s has extended their ALS fundraiser AGAIN.  Come and enjoy a great meal, and support ALS research and education this weekend.  Donate a loonie or toonie and The Moose will match your donation. 

Thanks everyone for the remarkable support.

Come out to Yeehaw farms on Sunday.  Wear your blue, ALS attire and tell them you are attending for Heather and then the money will go to ALS Research.  Check the post from a few days ago for more details.  See you there.

Teri Vincent reports…..News Flash…another friend to Heather and Dr. Strong *ALS Research
 
Moose Winooski’s has a wonderful promotion until October 15th at their “new” Kitchener location. Every guest is
invited to donate a “toonie” with their bill and all the proceeds will go to Dr. Strong *ALS Research.

Moose Winooski’s will match all donations collected during this campaign. So make a point of telling your friends and family and better yet – get to Moose Winooski’s before the 15th and help make the tally grow. While you’re selecting your “awesome grub”, you can read the wonderful insert in every menu that showcases our “Heather”, Dr. Strong and some facts on ALS.
 
So “two thumbs up” to Moose Winooski’s for this generous opportunity to raise funds and raise awareness…they even have the “Dear Heather” books on site for sale!

There will be an ALS Awareness Day at Yee Haw Adventure Farm on Sunday October 4, 12-5 pm to support Heather Snell in her continued quest to raise awareness and funds for ALS research being done at the London Health Sciences Hospital.

A portion of your regular price admission will be donated to ALS research. All you have to say is that you are a “friend of Heather’s”, wear a blue ribbon or your ALS T-shirt! Yee Haw Adventure Farm is located just outside of Cambridge, near the African Lion Safari.

Visit the website at www.yeehawadventurefarm.com fordetails and for a map of how to get there. Put on your straw hat and your rubber boots and bring out your whole family to enjoy a beautiful fall day at the farm while you support a wonderful woman and her worthy cause. Hope to see y’all there! Yee Haw!

The grand total for the 2009 Hootenanny for Hope is

$51,700 and counting

this includes $11,000 directly to LHSC for research

$1700 to ALS Canada

Thank you to everyone for your love and support.

Karlie was kind enough to put this together.  Enjoy!

I am now getting some of the images from the day!  Look for the YouTube video that will be up this week.  I’ll have a link here for it.

Heather and Bob arrived at the Hoot in style this year, in a Model T Ford that had just completed a transcontinental race displaying the ALS Logo and collecting funds along the way.

Heather holding ‘court’ in the barn.  With her laptop ready and Zack Werner at her side, Heather tells Tim to go and have fun!

Money is still being counted, expenses gathered, but it would appear that we raised  $31,000 on Saturday for ALS Research.

Thanks to Heather for inspiring this event.  Thanks to our sponsors for making it possible.  Thanks to you for coming to the party.

For any of you that haven’t read it yet, the Cambridge Times did a nice article on Heather.
