Algonquin College’s School of Hospitality and Tourism launched their much-anticipated holiday fundraiser in support of Cornerstone Housing for Women on Nov. 21, 2023. Their $75 Holiday Starter Kits, which included a non-alcoholic cocktail, appetizer and treats for up to four guests, sold out in a record three days.
The kit featured canapés and cocktails from renowned culinary experts under the guidance of accomplished professionals Cathy Dewar, Manager of Restaurant International, and Tanya Skeates, Algonquin College Chef Instructor.
Today, Dewar and Skeates, alongside President and CEO Claude Brulé, and with the support of many hardworking staff and student volunteers, presented Cornerstone with a cheque for $6,398.15, the result of a meaningful and ultimately successful fundraiser.
President & CEO, Claude Brulé, fundraiser leads, Chef Tanya Skeates and Cathy Dewar, alongside volunteer staff and students, present donation to Cornerstone Housing for Women Director of Development and Communications, Amber Bramer.
Cornerstone has faced many challenges this year including a fire which rendered one of their units within the residence inhabitable and an increase in food costs that has taken a bite out of the women’s shelter meal program. This donation comes at a pivotal time for Cornerstone — a period in which Cornerstone is relying heavily on community support to continue offering critical programs and services to women and gender-diverse people in need.
Congratulations to our School of Hospitality and Tourism on another successful fundraiser, this year your hard work has helped give the gift of hope, healing and housing!
