Muskoka Catholic schools assist in raising over $12,000 for Syrian refugee effort

The Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board is helping raise funds for Syrian refugees.

Over the past 100 days, Catholic schools in Muskoka worked together with other schools in the district to raise over $12,000.

Money was raised through various initiatives including bake sales, spirit days and community events.

All raised funds go to the Project Hope campaign run by the Archdiocese of Toronto.

Project Hope looks to bring Syrian refugee families to the Greater Toronto Area.

That campaign has seen over $3.8 million dollars raised.
