UPDATE - Money Stolen From Markham Charity

Thousands of dollars in donations have poured into a Markham organization that helps developmentally disabled adults after the proceeds from a fundraiser held Sunday were stolen. Major donations, including lump sums of $8,000, $4,600 and $1,000, have arrived at the Centre for Dreams since the proceeds were ripped off in a smash-and-grab-style theft from a car parked at the Markham Fairgrounds, where the group was holding its funding drive.The cash, estimated at $6,000 to $8,000, was left in the car for a few minutes, during which time the window was smashed and the bag taken.
