Charity Fundraiser hosted by "Friends with f.a.i.t.h"
The school held a charity fundraiser on April 25, 2007, in the memory of Constable Davis Ahlowalia, a police officer who was killed in a tragic car accident along with two former Maple High School students. Nearly $5000 were raised. Vice principal Mr. Foti, along with two other teachers, volunteered to have their heads shaven if the $5,000 goal was met. All of the money raised was donated to Friends of the Poor, a charity organization that Constable Davis Ahlowalia was part of. On Wednesday, April 23, 2008, Friends with f.a.i.t.h. held another charity event at the school; they raised funds for Alzheimer's Research. All proceeds from this fundraiser were donated to the Alzheimer’s Association of Canada. This 2nd Annual Variety Night consisted of an exceptional show put on by the students of Maple High School along with a guest speaker. For 2009, Friends with f.a.i.t.h. will be raising funds for Autism Spectrum Disorder.
