A teddy bear “adoption” raised $2,250 for the Colors of Concordia scholarships in the JMSB when it was held Nov. 23 in the lobby of the Guy Metro Building.

“We have raised over $10,700 with the Teddy Bear Adoption, and have been able to give to the Montreal Children’s Hospital hundreds of teddy bears for sick children over the holidays,” Senecal said.

Senecal has benefited from the help of CASA Cares for the last two years. “Thanks to Kelly, Erin and Vicki, we are now closer to the $24,000 needed for the Colors of Concordia endowment.”
