On Thursday, September 25th, 2025, Southwood School is proud to be taking part in this year’s Terry Fox School Event. (Rain/alternate date: Friday, September 26th, 2025)
We are very excited to be a part of the “45th” anniversary of the Terry Fox Run. Terry inspired a national movement to end cancer, and together, we can finish it. We hope you will help us reach our school fundraising goal as our community bands together in the fight against cancer. We will be collecting donations until October 3rd.
Thank you in advance for your support!
How to donate:
Click this Terry Fox link to our school’s fundraising page. It’s fast, easy and donors get a receipt immediately by email.
Alternatively, go to terryfox.org and search “Southwood School.”
Your child may choose to set up their own fundraising page by clicking the “Donate to a Student” button. Their page will connect automatically to our school’s fundraising page and they’ll receive a link to email friends and family to help them reach their fundraising goal.
This year we are also able to collect cash or cheque donations using a pledge sheet that your child will bring home. Alternatively, there will be a “Toonie for Terry” pail for students at the office.
Fun fact: Did you know that Southwood School placed 15th in the top 25 elementary schools in the province of Manitoba in 2024, Wow!!! What an incredible school community we have supporting our students. We are so appreciative for all the support you give to our students who can in turn set examples of compassion, kindness and giving towards others, making a difference in the lives of those battling cancer. Terry inspired a national movement to end cancer, and together, we can finish it. A community partner, Giant Tiger, has graciously donated $500 for this fundraiser to help get us started, Thank you Giant Tiger!
