Sherri Wood's sunny spirit inspired her friends, family and co-workers in life. That spirit continues as six of her Toronto Sun colleagues--news reporters Joe Warmington, Brett Clarkson, Michele Mandel, Jonathan Jenkins, Peter Worthington and Alan Shanoff--have donated the $1000 they won last June at the Sun Media Dunlop Awards to the Sherri Wood Fund.The six won the award for their joint coverage of the trial of disgraced newspaper baron Conrad Black. From thievery springs generosity. Sherri would have loved that.
Clarkson and Warmington dropped the endorsed cheque off to Sun national entertainment editor John Kryk yesterday. The money will help defray costs associated with the Oct. 5 concert in Sherri's memory, to be held at Toronto's Opera House. All proceeds from that event will go toward a fund set up in Sherri's name by her mother, Debbie Wood.
Kryk also announced that the Sun will start running a daily "Best of Sherri" feature in their entertainment pages, starting Thursday and running through till Monday, Sept. 29. The series will reprint some of Wood's best work as a Sun club and concert reporter. Collect them all.
Sherri Woodstock is 15 days away and counting. Have you got your tickets yet?
