Mission Support

The letter, sent by a support and 
GCHS alumnus from Thunder Bay.
International Space Camp Team Canada continues to garner support and interest from all over Northwestern Ontario and beyond!  Not too long along, we received a letter from a well-wisher and Geraldton Composite High School alumnus now living in Thunder Bay: "what an accomplishment for Northwestern Ontario," she writes, "I'm sure you will do us all proud and that the boys will gain so much from the experience."

Private citizens from as near as Geraldton and as far as Ottawa have contributed $100, $300, even $1000 each toward the cost of travel and tuition.  Our GoFundMe account as brought in over $800 from people from coast to coast, including one Alberta roughneck who enthusiastically declared that it was "high time that we support something so geeky.  I'm in!"  Other individuals and businesses have offered donations in kind, everything from uniforms and teaching aids to airport shuttles and accommodations.  ISC Team Canada is humbled and proud to have received the financial and moral support from so many disparate champions.

ISC Team Canada will continue to fundraise and seek out opportunities for outreach and community involvement.  Be sure to check out our upcoming fundraising events or visit the team’s crowdfunding site at gofundme.com/8ypasysk.
