"This year was our best Coldest Night of the Year event yet,” says Dave Berdan Director of YFC Strathroy 37 Frank Youth Centre and Crash Bed. “Our theme was ‘Changing the tune’ and Strathroy-Caradoc, you did that in a big way. You showed the youth that you care, and you gave the light of hope to all the youth we serve. Thank you!" This year’s Coldest Night event also had more sponsors that helped them exceed the centre’s fundraising goal of $83,000. David adds that they are looking forward to creating more in- house services like a health and cooking programs. For more information on YFC Strathroy 37 Frank Youth Centre
Strathroy-Caradoc Warms Up the Coldest Night of the Year This year’s Coldest Night of the Year event certainly demon - strated the warmest hearts in the Strathroy-Caradoc area. The awareness and fundraising event raised almost $90,000 – a re - cord for YFC Strathroy 37 Frank Youth Centre and Crash Bed, who organizes the event every year. On a chilly February 22, 174 walkers from 34 teams hit the streets of Strathroy to raise awareness and funds in support of youth who may be in crisis, at risk, facing homelessness, food insecurity or who simply need a safe place to hang out. The top team raised over $9,000 and the top individual walker raised over $10,000. The money will go towards operational costs for the youth center and crash bed site located at 37 Frank Street.
