Erin District High School has been a proud supporter of the annual Terry Fox School Run for more than 30 years. During that time, our small school has made BIG NOISE, raising in excess of $210,000.00. We couldn't do this without the tremendous support of our incredible community. This year, we are once again asking for your help in keeping Terry's dream alive. This year, our goal is to raise $6300.00. Together, we know we can achieve this goal. Thank you in advance for your generosity and help. We truly are grateful to each and every one of you.
