Billy Bascom House Fire Relief Fund

Donation protected
Update: 11/6/23- The outpouring of support for my close friend and work partner Bill Bascom has been tremendous. The beneficiary Bill Bascom has truly been touched by the Canton community, hockey community, and other friends and families. Whatever we are able to raise will go directly to Billy. These funds will play a pivotal roll in securing housing, replacing lost items such as clothing, furniture, and all other needs after losing nearly everything in his house fire. It is amazing the support that has been shown for our community member and friend. Thank you!

We are reaching out to you today with heavy hearts and a deep sense of urgency. Our dear friend and dedicated member of the Canton community, Bill Bascom, recently suffered a devastating loss when his home was tragically engulfed in flames. Thankfully no one was hurt or injured including his two dogs, and cat. As fellow residents, we are determined to rally around Bill during this time.

Bill has been an indispensable figure in the Canton hockey community for many years, serving as our beloved Skating Saint equipment manager. His unwavering dedication, generosity, and willingness to lend a helping hand to anyone in need have left an indelible mark on our community. Whether it's sharpening skates, arranging equipment, or simply offering a warm smile, Bill has certainly left his mark.

Now, it's our turn to extend a helping hand to Bill. While the loss of his home is an incredibly daunting challenge, we believe that together, we can make a significant difference. We are launching a GoFundMe campaign to provide financial assistance for Bill as he rebuilds and recovers from this devastating event.

Please consider contributing to this fund, no matter how large or small your donation may be. Every dollar counts, and your support will have a direct impact on helping Bill get back on his feet and back to the community he holds so dear. The funds will go toward essentials like housing, clothing, and other immediate needs to ease the burden of starting over.

In addition to making a financial contribution, we kindly ask to share this link, but to be mindful of Bill and his family during this time.

Bill Bascom has been there for us in countless ways, and now it's our chance to be there for him. Let's show our support, love, and appreciation for this incredible member of our community. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for coming together as the tight-knit Skating Saint family has always been.
