“Community”

com•mu•ni•ty (k-myn-t)

a. a social group of any size whose members reside in a specific locality, share government, and often have a common cultural and historical heritage.
b. The district or locality in which such a group lives.
c. A group of people having common interests
d. Similarity or identity: a community of interests.

f. Society as a whole; the public.
g. Since the advent of the Internet the concept of community no longer has geographical limitations, as people can now virtually gather in an online community and share common interests regardless of physical location.

This is about “our” community.

Cole Pender is a 7 year old boy that lives here within our community. He has been diagnosed with Leukemia and is undergoing treatments at the IWK and Toronto Sick Kids Hospital. These are not easy times for the children and the families that are presented with these challenges.

As a small business owner and father of two beautiful daughters this strikes close to home for me and my family. I am one who is speaking from experience and has a direct understanding of the potential difficulties that these challenges present. My goal is to bring together an event that is community driven and enjoyable for all.

Red Whale Coffee Company is hosting a ticketed event for the community and most importantly for Cole & his family.
