More than $6,000 will be going to the Stratford-Perth Community Foundation and other organizations thanks to the sale of a Bill Barilko hockey card signed by the Tragically Hip.
Blair Babcock, owner of To Bean or Not to Bean, says his father passed away in 2007 from the same type of brain cancer Gord Downie recently died of almost ten years on the day.
He says auctioning off the card was a great way to honour them both.
The foundation’s Executive Director Tracy Van Kalsbeek says she just received an email out of the blue from Babcock saying he wanted to help.
The money will be going to the Gord Downie Fund, the Larry Babcock Memorial Fund and the foundation.
