Dear Editor:
I am the owner of Hair With Care in Fergus. On Sept. 8, I held a fundraiser for the Heart and Stroke Foundation and raised $3,500. On Oct. 7 I sent a cheque to Sara Felske, senior fundraising relationship manager from Heart and Stroke Ontario.
I would like to say a special thank you to the community for coming out, and local businesses in Fergus, Elora and Belwood for donating raffle prizes for the event.
Also a special thanks to Edge Real Estate team for barbecuing, A&W Restaurant and Pizza Hut for their cash donations, and Peter and Bob at Tim Hortons for donating coffee and donuts.
Also, a special thanks to Tom Burkes at Burkes Rental for donating tables for this event.
I am very thankful and appreciative of all the special people who helped make this fundraiser possible. In September 2025, I am looking forward to holding my fifth annual event for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. I hope I can count on the community once again for their support.
Carrie Anne Kierstead,
Fergus
