Sonia Ciccone and Dave Deane of Wild Wing, 808 Innisfil Beach Road, donated $800 to Gilda's Club Barrie Ontario from the proceeds of their recent golf tournament.

"Cancer has touched my family and I want to give back to the community" said Ciccone.

Gilda's Club is nonresidential and free of charge. Children/teens, men and women living with cancer, along with their family and friends, can join others to build social and emotional support to complement their medical care. Efforts are now underway to open a Gilda's Club in Barrie which will serve a wide area including Simcoe County (Barrie, Orillia and Midland), Muskoka Parry Sound, Grey Bruce and Dufferin County.
