The Coldest Night of the Year is a winterrific family-friendly walk to raise money for local charities serving people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness. Team up, walk, and fundraise! It’s cold out there... but there’s no place like home. We're raising money for the YWCA West Niagara programming. Your support helps women and children experiencing homelessness have a home.
