CMHA Fundraiser In Brompton Park Saturday

Friday, 17 June 2016 13:35

15 year old Katelynne Haskell is the organizer of the family fun fair fundraiser in Brompton Park.

A Woodstock high school student has organized a special fundraiser in Brompton Park, which will benefit the CMHA Oxford.

WOODSTOCK - A local 15-year old student is organizing a family fun fair to brighten the mood after the recent suicide crisis.

Brompton Park is playing host to a fun fair on June 18th from 11 AM until 3 PM in light of the recent suicide crisis that has rocked the community.

The fair is being organized by Grade ten Huron Park Secondary School student Katelynne Haskell. She says the Woodstock suicide crisis motivated her to start the plans for the fair.

"Well just losing some of your friends and even people in your school, or even in your town, everyone knows them because it's a small town. At the walkout, there were a lot of tears and I think people were hoping for a more happier event."

The fair style fundraiser will feature:

- Bouncy castles

- Cotton candy and snow cone machines

- Face painting

- Photo booth

- Bake sale

- Barbeque

- Live music

- Crisis workers with booths

- Youth speakers

- Appearances by Woodstock Spiderman, princesses and a clown

Haskell adds there will also be a balloon ceremony near the end of the fair.

"We are going to have balloons towards the end around 3 PM. We are going to ask everyone if they have lost a loved one or anything like that to youth suicide or even if they have just lost someone they miss, they can write their name on a balloon and we will all let them go.”

All the money raised at the fair is being donated to the CMHA of Oxford.
