Local organizations are decorating pumpkins to transform the entryway of the Cancer Centre into a Halloween spectacular. You can support your favourite pumpkin by donating today!
For as long as she can remember, Lindsey Bareich, now a first
year student at the University of Waterloo , has loved carving
pumpkins. Back when she was just 12 years old, Lindsey’s father
challenged her to find a way to turn her favourite fall hobby
into a meaningful way to give back to her community.
Donate $500 to the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation in exchange for a giant pumpkin and a chance to compete in the Best Pumpkin Contest. To Register: Sign Up The participating businesses carve, decorate, or paint their giant pumpkins, then deliver them to the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation. The patients and staff of the Cancer Centre judge the pumpkins and vote for their favourite using a paper ballot system, and the general public can also cast their vote online via Facebook. The pumpkins with the most ballot votes or likes will be crowned the 2024 Best Pumpkin Contest winners!
