WATERLOO REGION – The 17th Annual CHYM-FM Tree of Hope radiothon was another huge success.
Held Thursday and Friday, the event raised just under $279,000.
That exceeds the goal of $275,000, in support of Family and Children’s Services.
That figure will most certainly rise, as you can still make donations through the end of the month.
