Local real estate firm presents fundraiser for WCCF

The “Country at Heart” fundraiser brought over 300 people to the Event Centre at LaSalle Landing. It was a fundraiser for the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation.

An Amherstburg-based business hosted a large fundraiser for the Windsor-Essex Cancer Centre Foundation (WECCF) in LaSalle recently.

The “Country at Heart” fundraiser returned for the eighth time, and once again the proceeds went to charity. The proceeds this year went to the foundation, with previous fundraisers having been for the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), the Fight Like Mason Foundation and to remodel the ICU waiting room at Windsor Regional Hospital’s Metropolitan Campus.

The event was presented by the Dan Gemus Real Estate Team and held at the Event Centre at LaSalle Landing. Gemus said they love the format and estimated over 300 people attended. Many sponsors return year after year, he said, and many people attend the event annually.

“We’ve donated over $300,000 to local charities,” he added.

A fundraising total from the 2025 “Country at Heart” event was not available as of press time.The Carson Janik Band performed with the Blonde Coach Bar also on hand to offer their services. 

Jim Scott from the WECCF said they were appreciative of being the recipients of the proceeds this year. He said they rely on third party fundraisers to help their cause, with purchasing new equipment being a priority. They also help the patients who have to use the Windsor Cancer Centre in other ways, including with other expenses. 

Scott said it was “amazing” to see what the real estate team does.
