A day of fun has turned into sorrow after proceeds were stolen from a charity event at the Markham Fairgrounds.Yesterday, at around 5pm, The Centre For Dreams, an organization that offers programs for adults with special needs, was wrapping up their third annual Festival Of Trees.During the cleanup, a volunteer had placed the money raised in his car for safe keeping. Moments later, the volunteer retunred to the vehicle and found it was broken into and that the proceeds were taken. Ron Delcarmen, a spokesperson with The Centre For Dreams, estimates the event raised about $6000-$8000.According to York Regional Police, there were no witnesses or survelience video.Police will continue to investigate.Anyone with information is asked to call 905-830-0303 ext. 7545, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, or leave an anonymous tip online at www.1800222tips.com
