Classic car calendar raises funds LEAMINGTON — Over the past few months, Leamington resident Gino DelCiancio has been selling calendars created with images of his beloved 1955 Chevy BelAir, which he has affectionately named Bella. DelCiancio is involved in countless car cruises in the area and Bella has become quite popular on the local car show scene. The calendars were sold to area car enthusiasts and fans of Bella and a total of $3755 was raised from the proceeds of the calendar sales. DelCiancio’s late wife, Liz, began the Miss Lizzy’s Tea event in 2009 and the
Miss Lizzy’s Foundation was founded in 2015. Miss Lizzy’s Tea has raised over $160,000 for Erie Shores with their annual events, and this donation will go toward the 2021 donation to the Erie Shores Hospital Foundation, earmarked for Erie Shores Hospice. Gino is happy to support the foundation in his late wife’s name and this allows him to provide people with some photos of Bella while helping Miss Lizzy’s Foundation. He met last week with Foundation treasurer Rebeca Dib to make the donation.
REGIONAL — For the second year in a row, the annual Hogs for Hospice weekend has been postponed due to COVID restrictions. The Hogs committee made the announcement on Friday, June 11, but also announced some other events taking place this summer. “Over the years, Hogs for Hospice has been put in a position to make some big decisions, but no decisions bigger than our 2020 and now our 2021 event,” said committee member Joe Oswald. “The health and safety and well being of our community, guests and our Hogs for Hospice ambassadors will always be
front and centre to every decision we make,” added Donny Pacheco. The Hogs committee has announced two other events that will keep the fundraising efforts at the forefront of everyone’s mind. They will soon launch their H4H 50-50 Summer Raffle on Friday, July 2, starting with a prize of $20,000 and building from there. Last summer’s prize got to over $120,000. In addition to the popular 50-50 raffle, they’ve also announced the Hogs for Hospice Poker Run, which will happen on July 31, and will have a grand prize of $1000 and V.I.P. tickets.
