Anonymous donation brings joy to avid Pete's fan J.P. Ducharme is feeling like one very lucky person these days. Thanks to an anonymous donation of Season's Tickets to the Peterborough Pete's, J.P. is able to enjoy going to all the Pete's games this year -- something his tight budget would not be able to accomodate.

The avid Pete's fan would like to extend a huge bouquet of thanks and appreciation to the Anonymous gift giver. Whomever you are, you have made one lucky Pete's fan very-very happy!

Thank You for making a difference in the lives of people living with an intellectual disability.
