The Shania Twain North American Online Fan Club Makes a Donation to the Timmins and District Hospital Foundation

Timmins Thursday, November 22, 2001 - Today, Faye Naveau and Will Saari, representing the Shania Twain North American Online Fan Club (www.shaniafans.com) presented the Timmins and District Hospital Foundation with a generous donation of $1,136.00. Accepting the donation was Robert Perrault, Chairperson of the Foundation.  The generous donation will be used to purchase urgently needed medical equipment that will be used by either children or adults.

As a celebration of the birth of Shania's first child, the Shania Twain North American Online Fan Club voted to donate equally to two charities, one in Canada and one in the US. The Canadian recipient of this generous ‘Baby Lange Donation’ (receiving 63% of the votes) is the Timmins and District Hospital Foundation in Timmins, Ontario, Shania's hometown. The American organization, voted by the Fan Club members (receiving 60% of the votes) is America's Second Harvest/Kids Café. The amount of the donation was determined by donations from Shania fans located in the United States, Italy, France, and Canada and by special auctions organized by the Fan Club on their web site as well as on Ebay. 

The Shania Twain North American Online Fan Club would like thank Mercury Nashville for their donation of five Shania autographed calendars that were included in the auction packages. Also included in the packages that were auctioned for the Fundraiser were the Shania Leopard baby, Shania Twain Centre keychain, Shania Twain Centre magnet and Timmins Daily Press insert.
