Help John raise money

For the past two years, Janice and I have walked 'virtually' in the Mississauga Half Marathon during the first week of May 2021 and 2022. We walked the half marathon in person in Toronto in 2018 and were scheduled to participate in May 2020 before the lockdowns. This year Janice and I plan to walk the 5 km in Mississauga, and in addition, I pledge to you that I will walk a further 21 km using the Under Amour app called ‘Map My Run’ to record the distance and time for accountability. 

This is a fundraiser for the Grand Philharmonic Choir with which Janice and I have sung since 2002. The Mississauga Half- GPC5K funds raised by the Grand Philharmonic Choir will go directly towards musical education of both our young and adult singers, production costs of our concerts, like hiring young Canadian soloists to perform with us, securing venues, providing sheet music, etc., and help cover the cost of our community events like our Sing-Ins and Voice Workshops, and our participation in the opening ceremonies of the Christmas Season and the Christkindlmarkt, to name a few. The Grand Philharmonic Choir has provided world class music to the Waterloo Region since 1922. This year we are performing the Mendelssohn Elijah, Handel's Messiah, the Bach B Minor Mass and Bruckner's Te Deum.

Our choir would be grateful for your generous contribution in support of its next 100 years of continued service to our community. Any amount is wonderful. 

Thanks so much.
