Your United Way team is about to bring Two Buck Luck to Listowel/North Perth! We definitely put the fun in fundraising - imagine an event that mixes methods like bingo and raffle in one event, while helping you grab some great offerings from local vendors and have that night out you've been craving!
Join us on April 30th at the Steve Kerr Memorial Complex - we promise, this one is worth the fun!
Proceeds of the event to United Way Perth-Huron's North Perth campaign.

The wonderful crew from McDonalds Listowel, some youth from Kin Cares, and our site lead volunteer Kim hung out at our designated Rest Stop at the North Perth Chamber of Commerce. We're sharing a few photos from there - as well as a shot of our support vehicle (staffed by Lee Anne and Lori) - as part of our retrospective on the 2026 North Perth Coldest Night of the Year walk! Thanks to all - including the North Perth Chamber of Commerce - for providing a safe and warm mid-point stop for our walkers!

Polar bears can't get driver's licenses, but it was still fun to visit our friends at Listowel Ford, Listowel Honda, and Listowel Chrysler. A big thank you to the Ravelle Group for their support of Coldest Night of the Year. We appreciate all that you do for the community and we look forward to motoring along with you. Today's the day!
