Charity

Gender Blender has two components as a charity event. The proceeds go to charity and we provide food for the Fergus-Elora Community Kitchen. Teams should bring a box of non-perishable food (CDN$10/person) to the storage tent on Saturday. We are one of the Community Kitchen's biggest events of the year, and our efforts are enormously respected within the community.

Our History of Giving
The profits of Gender Blender have always gone to charity. From 1997 to 2002, all profits went back to the town of Fergus, ensuring goodwill with the community and building a strong relationship with the town and the facility. From 1997-2000, the Community Resource Centre , Fergus' United Way agency, received the entire sum. In 2001 and 2002, we split our donation between the CRC and a Field Development Fund run by the Community Centre to develop sports facilities. In 2003, the proceeds were donated to Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children in memory of Quinn William Evans, who died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in December 2002. In 2007, we split the proceeds between only the CRC and the Hospital.
