Mission Services of London’s Coldest Night of the Year fundraiser returns for 13th year
Ericka Ayala Ronson, executive director of Mission Services, says all the funds raised locally will stay in London to help those experiencing homelessness.
“The reason that we hold this event is not only to raise vital funding, also to raise some awareness about what it’s like to be out there on a cold winter night,” she said. This year’s goal was to raise $100,000, but that has already been surpassed as more than $123,000 had been raised as of Saturday afternoon.
