On Wednesday, October 7th, 2026, Southwood School is proud to be taking part in this year’s
Terry Fox School Event. (Rain/alternate date: Thursday, October 8 th , 2026)
We are very excited to be a part of the “46th” 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 23rd. Thank you in advance for your support!
How to donate:
1. Click this link: 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.”
2. 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.
3. 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 in the top 25 elementary schools for
fundraising in the province of Manitoba for the last 3 years? 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. A community partner, Giant
Tiger, has graciously donated $500 for this fundraiser to help get us started, Thank you Giant
Tiger!
