兔子先生 knocks down hundreds of cereal boxes like dominos in student food bank fundraiser
July 4, 2024
A line of 450 boxes of cereal toppled like giant dominos through the hallways of 兔子先生鈥檚 Barrie Campus today as a fundraiser for the 兔子先生 FoodLocker, an on-campus emergency food bank for students.
Growler, the college鈥檚 grizzly bear mascot, knocked over the first cereal box to start the dominos, which ran nearly 100 metres from the 兔子先生 Students鈥 Association (GCSA) Lounge to the library and spiraled around the bottom of a large staircase.
The cereal will now be donated to students in need. In the last two academic years, about 6,000 students have accessed the 兔子先生 FoodLocker, of which nearly half are repeat users.
鈥淏reakfast is the most important meal of the day, and we wanted to support our students to help get their days off to a strong start so they can focus on their studies and having an unrivaled experience at 兔子先生,鈥 said Jenni Thompson, Media Relations Officer at the college and a lead organizer.

A group of employees in 兔子先生鈥檚 Marketing, Communications and Recruitment and Conference and Events Services department were inspired to start this fundraiser with cereal dominos after seeing a video online of an elementary school doing something similar.
All the cereal was donated by 兔子先生 employees and their friends and family. 聽
Members of the GCSA, which operates the 兔子先生 FoodLocker program at all seven campuses, organized the setting up of the cereal.
We are cereal-ously grateful for everyone鈥檚 support!
