Where
does the
money go?
Paul
O'Hara, Raising The Roof National Board Member, being interviewed
for Global News, provides details on the agencies that receive
funding from the Toque Tuesday & Comedy Night events.
Toque
Tuesday
is a Raising the Roof event that happens each year, across
Canada, in support of agencies who are helping those
who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
80%
of the net proceeds stay in the community where they are
raised, and the balance is invested in national solutions.
