Georgian College Students’ Association (GCSA) members will be asking for $2 donations to be directed to United Way programs that supports sports teams for children.

Barrie Campus GCSA members will collect the donations at major entrances to the college, including the gymnasium, The Last Class (TLC), the C Building area beside the cafeteria, and more.

Students and staff who donate a toonie will be eligible to win one of the following prizes:

  • $50 TLC gift certificate (one for students and one for staff)
  • Dinner for two to a Georgian Dining Room international-themed dinner (one for students and one for staff)
  • Parking pass for one semester (students only)

The initiative is part of Georgian’s United Way workplace campaign which runs through Oct. 21.
