Five Counties Children’s Centre’s Winterfest a big win for kids!

PETERBOROUGH, February 25, 2022 – Over the Family Day long weekend Five Counties celebrated Winterfest with kids and families in our communities. Winterfest 2022 offered fun activities with Washboard Hank, the Peterborough Petes, the Lindsay Muskies, baking, contests and much more. With hundreds of visitors to the Winterfest website, more auction participants than ever before, and over two thousand people coming out to the to watch the Peterborough Petes’ Family Day game, Winterfest raised $18,978 to help support Five Counties kids!

Canadian Tire stores in Peterborough, Lindsay, Cobourg, Campbellford and Fenelon Falls have continued to support Five Counties’ Kids as the lead sponsor of Winterfest 2022. Ralph Moulton, Peterborough South owner, says, “Just like Canadian Tire, Five Counties Children’s Centre is a part of all our communities, and we felt it was important that we come together to support our kids so they can build their abilities for life.”

We want to thank the many local businesses, groups and individuals who sponsored the event or donated items to help raise funds for the more than 4,400 kids who receive treatment from Five Counties Children’s Centre each year.

“Although Winterfest is a virtual family event again this year, it continues to bring us together to support the kids who rely on getting the treatment they need at Five Counties now and in future.” says CEO Scott Pepin. “The Centre continues to be an essential service to help children with physical, communication and developmental needs, and our communities are partners in ensuring their success.”

Winterfest wrapped up with a Peterborough Petes Family Day Game sponsored by local Tim Hortons. The crowd was filled with Five Counties families and supporters bringing a fun and exciting energy to the arena and an awesome end to Winterfest weekend.

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the event, we look forward to seeing you all next year!
