CORNWALL, Ontario – Big Brothers/ Big Sisters Cornwall are getting ready for their 4th annual Sock Sale.

Socks of all colours, shapes and sizes will be for sale from Friday, Aug. 25 to Sunday Aug. 27 at the Agora Centre on McConnell Ave.

On Friday, the sale will be from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Socks will be $0.50 a piece and Scotiabank will be matching the funds raised.

Last year, the event raised more than $10, 000 for Big Brothers/ Big Sisters.

The money raised goes to help the backlog of kids waiting to be matched with their Big Brother or Big Sister. The money raised also supports their seven mentoring programs which includes Go Girls, a mentoring program that teaches young girls healthy eating and lifestyle habits.

If you need new socks for the kids for back to school, or if your own socks are starting to look like fish nets, then come down to the Agora Centre on Aug. 25 weekend to get new socks and support a good cause.
