Rain couldn’t keep thousands of Tragically Hip fans away from a pair of live streaming events in downtown Chatham on Saturday.
An outdoor screening was held at Tecumseh Park.
A portion of donations will be given to the Chatham-Kent Hospice, which Director of D evelopment Jodi Maroney says will go towards day-to-day needs at the facility.
An indoor event was held a few blocks away at the Capitol Theatre, with half of the donations earmarked for Chatham-Kent Victim Services.
Executive Director Pam Fasullo says it’s the biggest fundraiser to date held for the organization, and they’re grateful for the support.
Both events will also be making donations towards brain cancer research at Sunnybrook Hospital.
