Local philanthropists David Goyette and Victoria Pearce has donated $50,000 to the United Way of Peterborough & District to help the local arts community.
CEO Jim Russell says it’s a different type of donation, but one that will be helpful.
Russell says he isn’t surprised by the couple’s generosity, as they have a long track record of donations locally.
The money, which will be known as the David Goyette and Victoria Pearce Arts and Wellness Initiative, will be split between six organizations including Peterborough Youth Services, One City Peterborough, Elizabeth Fry Peterborough, Community Living Trent Highlands, Trent Valley Literacy and the New Canadians Centre.
