On October 4th, 2008 the Touch a Truck Event Planning Committee hosted the third Touch a Truck Event at Niagara College, Glendale Campus.  The Touch a Truck event helps to raise money for children's literacy in Niagara while providing an opportunity for families to spend the day together for a worthy cause. 

More than 10,000 children, parents, grandparents and other "young-at-heart" adults attended the event, helping to raise $15, 000 for children's literacy in Niagara.

 

In partnership with the Debbie Zimmerman Early Years Niagara Literary Award, proceeds from the event go toward the purchase of award-winning books for places where families and children gather, including Ontario Early Years Centres, regional child care centres, and licensed child care centres in Niagara. 

 

The success of the Touch a Truck event is made possible through the outstanding support of Walker Industries, dozens of community volunteers, and sponsors.

The next Touch a Truck Event will be held in October 2nd, 2010 at Niagara College, Niagara-on-the-Lake Campus.
