The Susan Sherring Legacy Fundraiser Returns Fall 2025!
​
We’re honoured to announce the return of the Susan Sherring Legacy Fundraiser, celebrating the life and advocacy of Sue Sherring—a passionate journalist and community champion for survivors of gender-based violence.
​
All proceeds will support Nelson House, helping us provide safe shelter and vital services for women and children escaping violence.
​
Stay tuned for event details and join us in honouring Sue’s legacy.
From September 1 to October 12, 2025, customers can donate at checkout, 100% of proceeds will go directly to Nelson House, supporting women and children fleeing violence. Last year, RONA+ Nepean raised over $5,000 for Nelson House through this campaign, a powerful reminder of what community support can achieve. Let’s aim even higher this year!
