The East York Barbershoppers are proud of our long history of giving back to the community, and 2015 was no exception. A portion of our annual dues and the profits for every event that we run goes to Harmonize for Speech ("H4S") to help Canadians suffering from communication disorders, and to senior programs in our local community of East York through the Harmony Hall Centre for Seniors ("HHCS"). We also encourage our members to donate directly to these organizations, and to run special events and solicit corporate donations on their behalf. The end result was just over $20,000 in contributions in 2015, with $15,000 going to H4S and $5,000 to HHCS!!
Unfortunately we haven't kept track of all of our historic contributions to HHCS, but H4S confirms that the $15,000 raised in 2015 has taken total contributions attributed to the East York Barbershoppers to a whopping $493,000 since H4S was established back in 1977. We look forward to breaking the half million milestone in 2016!
