Anticipating that 2009 would be a tough year for donations, yet still wanting to reach more kids than it did last year, City Kidz set itself a goal in January -- raise $1 million in 300 days.
Thanks to an aggressive campaign, it has reached that goal.
It went over the top just last night, thanks to a fundraising dinner at Carmen's Banquet Centre that brought in nearly 900 people -- a massive showing for such a dinner in Hamilton.
The campaign was at roughly $970,000 only a few days ago and organizers were crossing their fingers that the dinner would make up the difference, said founder and executive director Todd Bender.
It raised $60,000 last night.
It's the most City Kidz has ever raised in such a short period of time.
He says he is expecting the remainder of the budget money to come from the agency's regular fundraising through the rest of the year.
