It seems at John McGregor Secondary School, when goat kissing is on the line, the funds start to flow.
The school held a charity fundraiser this spring, which culminated Friday with teachers and a few students smooching a goat.
The goal for the Me to We club at the school was to raise $500. Every $50 represents the purchase price of one goat for the Feed the Children charity. If the students donated $500, the teaching staff would all have to kiss the goat.
The total was sitting $15 shy just prior to the start of the 10:30 a.m. event, but a student came forward armed with a debit card to push the total over the top.
And the money kept rolling in.
RBC’s King Street branch donated $250. Teachers paid cold, hard cash to get out of kissing the goat, or to get a student to participate.
By the end of the event, the goat had chapped lips, and the school had raised $1,350.
