Two local events in the past two weeks have been able to raise some much needed funding for the community. 
Near North Crime Stoppers says their 2015 Celebrity Jail-a-thon has raised $20,000.

Their goal was originally $15,000, with the proceeds going towards all the programs Crime Stoppers runs. The event took place last week at Northgate Shopping Centre.
The 22nd annual Trojan Parade for Cancer was able to raise $7,000.

The event took place earlier this week, with $1,000 going towards Camp Oochigeas, the remaining $6,000 goes to the Canadian Cancer Society. Over the last 22 years, the Trojan Parade for Cancer has raised over $226,000.
