On April 26, 2008 the Marshall Family held the 2nd Annual Gerald
Marshall Fundraising Event and it was a huge success. We raised $44,000
towards the construction of the newly named Gerald Marshall Centre for
Transportation at Mohawk College. Construction of the building will
begin in September 2008 which will include the addition of a second
floor. The official opening is slated for September 2009.
This years’ event attracted over 400
people and as promised it was a fun-filled, action-packed evening for
all! It included both a Silent and Live Auction with a variety of items
to bid on including trips, patio furniture and even an electric guitar.
One of the many highlights of the evening was a dunk tank. The first to
take the plunge into the icy cold water was Wayne Marshall then
followed by his sister Linda.
The Marshall family has been working with
the community since 2006 to match their gift of 1.2 million made to
Mohawk College in November of 2006. If you would like to donate just

The Marshall Family and Mohawk College
the would like to thank the sponsors, donors, volunteers and of course
everyone who attended. “Each of you helped make this event a wonderful
success many thanks and best wishes to you all.”
