Saturday, February 20 | 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
On February 20, 2026, Lauraine Andrews will commit the ultimate crime: turning 80 years old. Rather than deny her charge, Laurie is leaning into it, celebrating this milestone with humour, community, and a whole lot of heart.
Laurie is hosting a fundraising event in support of the Townsend Smith Foundation, turning her birthday into a meaningful way to raise awareness and funds for a much-needed hospice in North Halton.
The event will take place at Troy’s Diner (295 Main St E, Milton) from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Community members are invited to stop by, visit Laurie, and help 'bail her out' by making a donation to the Townsend Smith Foundation. Donations can be made by cash, cheque, or e-transfer, and as a thank-you, Laurie will treat each donor to coffee and a cupcake (and maybe even a picture).
Laurie is also thrilled to spotlight Troy Newton and his incredible staff for being her partners in this “crime” and for their ongoing generosity to the community.
Can’t make it in person? You can still support Laurie by donating to the event fundraiser throughout February using the button below to help her reach her goal of $4000.
Help us celebrate 80 years of Lauraine and #FreeLaurie this February! |
