Shred-it For A Cure-November 14 (free food alert!)

The WB Family heard about this interesting event and thought that we would pass along the word in case you are interested in participating.

Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation – is dedicated to increasing cancer survivorship. Here in Eastern Ontario, the Cancer Foundation is working to fill the gaps in services for cancer patients and has partnered with 11 local hospitals to ensure residents have the best possible care close to their homes, shorter wait times, improved quality of life and access to the latest new therapies.

Shred-it - Founded in 1988 by Greg Brophy, Shred-it is a Canadian company, committed to helping organizations secure their business information by shredding documents and various media.

Shred-it For A Cure - Each year the Ottawa Shred-it branch donates all funds raised from Shred-it For A Cure events to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. On the second Saturday of each month between 9:00AM and 1:00PM, the public can bring up to 5 cubic feet of material (1 cubic foot is about the size of a photocopy paper box) to the Shred-it facility and it will be securely shredded for free while you wait. You are encouraged at that time to make a donation (any amount is appreciated) and tax receipts are available.
