It was sunny but frosty as the 15th annual Reindeer Romp got off to a rousing start at Fitness Corner this morning, December 24th (2019) in Port Elgin (Saugeen Shores).
Each year, the family fun event, where participants of all ages can walk, jog or run for 2k, 5k or 10k, is held as an annual fundraiser for mental health with all proceeds going toward programming for Bruce Shoreline, the local branch of the Grey Bruce Mental Health Association.
Organizer Geordie Farrell explains the History of Reindeer Romp
This year, the event raised $1,087. According to Melanie Knowles of Bruce Shoreline of
Grey Bruce Mental Health, the funds are used to get clients physical and involved in the community through items such as gym memberships, passes to movies, BBQs and crafts. “We are a grass roots organization so this contribution is very important and goes directly to activities for patients.”
