Dear Terry,

On behalf of the Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH) Foundation, we would like to thank the Markham Stouffville Cruisers Club for supporting MSH through your summer fundraising initiatives. The generous spirit of community and groups such as yours is, and always has been, a powerful force behind the skill and passion with which MSH’s health professionals deliver care.

Your generous contribution of $1,335 is making a lasting impact in our community, and will benefit the mental health programs within the Gulshan & Pyarali G. Nanju Mental Health Services at MSH. This includes the development of in and out-patient programs, to help reduce wait times and ensure members of our community can access more timely care, closer to home. Government can’t fund all programs and other priority needs. That is why your support is vital and so very much appreciated.

Together, we will ensure that everyone in our increasingly diverse community who faces obstacles on the path to mental health wellness, can find the opportunity for a better future at MSH. Thank you!

Allan Dell and Matteo Paolucci

Dear Markham Stouffvile Cruisers

On behalf of Markham Missionary Church, we want to express our sincere appreciation and thanks for your support of our Potato Fry / Harvest Festival on September 17. Your participation as a group was such a blessing to us. These amazing “machines” that you brought triggered curiosity on so many and was greatly appreciated by all.

The event could not have been a success it was, without so generous people like you. Once again, thank you for your support of our event!

Sincerely,

On behalf of Markham Missionary Church

The Whitchurch Stouffville Food Bank Board, volunteers and clients would like to thank the MS Cruisers for their continued support. We are appreciative of all your club does, not only for us, but for the entire community. Your support will be put to good use to help us address food insecurity in our community.

ALL volunteers of the food bank (including operational managers and Board members) work without any remuneration. We work only to serve the community. A majority of donated money goes towards the purchase of fresh and non-perishable food from local vendors. We have limited warehouse space so we buy food each week, as needed. This drastically cuts warehousing costs, reduces spoilage and gives us an ability to source "sale" items. In addition, there are many other costs associated with the operation of a warehouse facility - rent, hydro, cleaning supplies, insurance, storage bins, etc. All these items require funding to secure and maintain. Donated funds are critical to our operation.

On behalf of the WS Food Bank, please accept my sincere thanks. Regards, Anand Daté Co-Chair, W-S Foodbank

To our friends with the Markham Stouffville Cruisers,

We can’t thank you enough for making our first Stouffville Village Rock’n’Roll Car Show such an amazing success.

We had well over 140 cars carefully displayed on Main Street on July 2 with many more parked on side streets. It was a turnout beyond our wildest dreams.

What a thrill for more than 10,000 visitors who each managed to find antique and classic vehicles that captured their imaginations. Our local businesses were so happy to have your members’ beautiful vehicles attracting attention – and customers!

There’s no way this event could have been the success it was without the expertise and dedication of Vince Signorello. He’s truly the master of finding solutions and we look forward to working with him again in the future. What a wonderful ambassador for the Markham Stouffville Cruisers!

Thank you again for your generosity in taking part in the show.

I know you consider yourselves to be custodians of these amazing vehicles, showing them respect and love on their journey through time. We’re so grateful that you allowed us to be part of that journey.

With sincere thanks,

Karen Morfield
Main Street Business Ambassador
Stouffville Chamber of Commerce

Terry Fox Run

Big thanks to members of the Markham Stouffville Cruisers for showing up in numbers at the Stouffville Terry Fox Run - in spite of a damp and dreary day. We had many comments about the beautiful cars from the crowd of almost 1,000. The event raised more than $60,000 for cancer research - thanks to more than 700 donors. Thank you, Cruisers, for being such a community-minded organization. You are everywhere! And if it's not too early, please save the date for next year's run: Sunday, Sept. 17, 2023 back in Memorial Park. We'd love to have you back.On behalf of our run committee,
