MOHAWK STUDENTS TO RAISE MONEY FOR CANCER WITH LIVE
ACOUSTIC MUSIC AND COMEDY NIGHT
Hamilton, Ont. Nov. 25, 2015- A group of Mohawk College
students are preparing a night of comedy and live music at the
Staircase Theatre to raise funds for Wellwood, a non-profit organization
in Hamilton. The event will be held on Dec. 7, 2015 from 7:30 p.m. to
8:30 p.m. and will include acts from Hamiltons Mayce Galoni, Matt
Surina and Eric Johnston.
The event came to be when the students in the Mohawk Public
Relations Postgraduate Program were assigned a fundraiser as a school
project. The team of students wanted to put on an event that would
bring joy and laughter to the audience while raising money and
awareness for Wellwood. Wellwood, and its founder Jane George,
resonated with me and a lot of my peers so we really wanted to put on
an event that would be fun and beneficial for Wellwood, explains Toni
Shelton, a group member. Janes story is incredible and helping her
help others means a great deal to us.
Wellwood is a community-based, non-profit organization that
provides information, programs and peer support to people who have
received a diagnosis of cancer, their loved ones and caregivers as well
as healthcare providers. All programs are free, safe and accessible as

Wellwood is barrier-free and has recently been recognized for this

through the Hamilton Centre for Civic Inclusions award for Diversity
Champion.
