On Fri, March 2nd over 180 ACORN supporters from unions, non-profits and political groups as well as your regular trivia buffs and craft beer gurus attended Ottawa ACORN’s 4th annual fundraiser – Trivial Beersuit! City Hall was packed to the max with trivia teams decked out in outlandish costumes, over 35 silent auction items up for bid, 6 craft beer breweries, 2 food vendors, ACORN swag tables and dozens of ACORN staff and volunteers.
On behalf of everyone at Ottawa ACORN we want to give a special thanks to the following groups that because of their generosity helped us raise over $20,000 to support our low income members’ organizing programs for social and economic justice! With no big checks from government and big corporations we rely on your support.

Au nom de tous les membres d’ACORN à Ottawa, nous tenons à remercier tout particulièrement les groupes suivants qui, grâce à leur générosité, nous ont aidés à amasser plus de 20 000 $ pour soutenir les programmes de syndicalisation des membres à faible revenu pour la justice sociale et économique!
