Ginch 2011 wrap up.

My appologies for the sporatic, and late updates to the blog. We have shifted most of our updates to facebook this year and it is difficult to update both. We hope to have a new webpage layout next year that will make updates seamless.

On Thursday Oct 6th the 2011 Got Ginch cross Canada Underwear Drive wrapped up in Halifax NS. This years journey took 9 days, and 79 hours behind the wheel. Our primary goal of delivering a little dignity to 10 shelters across Canada was achieved with 35000 pairs of underwear on time and on target. Each shelter expressed their sincere appreciation for the gift. In most locations we were able to generate substantial amounts of media attention for each group and allowed them to raise their profiles in the community. Special thanks to Souls Harbor in Halifax who made our final drop a very successful event.

Fund raising has already begun for next years adventure. We plan to add some exciting changes to the initiative.

Stay tuned and Ginch be with you.
