Marc Audet Music Video Released Today To Raise Awareness And Support For Closer To Home Campaign

Hello James,

Have you seen the latest release from Marc Audet? He launched a music video today to raise awareness and support for the Long-Term Care Home fundraising campaign. I'd like to personally thank Marc for putting this together. You can watch the video by clicking the image or this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN0TjUpawu4

It's so encouraging to see people like Marc and team giving from their heart to create something like this. These are the types of things that make a community successful! Bringing individual strengths and talents forward to benefit the larger group.

In a way, Marc's song... the musicians in his video... the photographers who contributed footage and stills... they have all done something to care for the health of their neighbours, local friends, strangers, and family alike. When DRDH is empowered by our surrounding community, we are all much stronger.

Do you have a gift, talent, or strength that you could utilize to help with Closer To Home? Although it's true that our campaign (with approx. $1.96M to go) needs financial help, it also needs community awareness, support, trust, and understanding. In fact, these things must come first. Perhaps you couldn't make a major impact on the financial goal, but you could make a major impact on the latter?

Just wanted to give you something to think about!

Sincerely,

Closer To Home Campaign: 21.5% Complete

In the past month, two women helped our campaign in a big way. First, we had a very generous $10,000 stock transfer gift placing the donor in the Bronze category for the permanent donor wall display. Second, a Deep River local made a gift of $2,500 to complete a pledge she had made towards the campaign. She too will be a Bronze donor on the donor wall display.

For the moment, these specific donors will remain unnamed but BOTH will appear digitally along with all others who have secured a donor wall spot (Bronze, Silver, and beyond) on the 1st Anniversary of the Closer To Home Campaign on June 17th, 2023. We will reveal the current list which has dozens of individuals and companies. We look forward to celebrating our Closer To Home donors!
