From Spare Change to Real Change: Thames Valley Education Foundation launches Toonie Tuesday fundraiser for emergency student support

February 6, 2026

Thames Valley Education Foundation (TVEF) is proud to kick off its month-long Toonie Tuesday fundraiser  supporting the Caring Fund: an emergency lifeline for Thames Valley students facing urgent financial barriers.

This year's campaign holds special significance as TVEF celebrates its 25th anniversary. Schools across Thames Valley are honouring this milestone with creative fundraising activities inspired by 25 years of giving.

With the care and generosity of the Thames Valley community, TVEF aims to raise $50,000 for the Caring Fund to support students with essentials like groceries, winter clothing and emergency accommodations.

Every toonie contributes to real, lasting change for local students.

"Supporting Toonie Tuesday is a simple but powerful way to ensure students have everything they need to thrive and focus on what truly matters: learning, growing and building a brighter future," said Cecile Klerks, Executive Director of TVEF. "From spare change to real change, together we can make a meaningful impact - because together, we care!"
