The Neighbourhood Network office coordinates the Magna Hoedown, York Region’s largest annual fundraiser, which has raised over 13 million dollars for hundreds of local charities, non-profits, and community groups throughout its history!
In addition to the funds raised, the Hoedown impacts the community by hosting the Magna Student Hoedown, a free concert and luncheon for over 1,000 York Region students with disabilities; by fostering the arts through the Magna Hoedown Showdown country-music talent competition; by maintaining a zero-waste policy to enhance environmental sustainability; and by offering an opportunity for York Region residents to become engaged in their community.
Thank you!
The Magna Hoedown could not take place without the hard work and dedication of 780+ volunteers, as well as the support of our community! Thanks to all of your efforts, we raised $517,800, benefitting 20 agencies and 116,000 York Region residents! This is why we Hoedown!!
