Earlier this week, Dekerf checked out the dunking booth that is being donated by Dylan Sanderson, left, of P.E.I. Inflatables. Between noon and 2 p.m. at the store’s Charlottetown location at 51 Babineau Ave., Dekerf will be sitting in a dunking booth to raise money for Toys For Tots. Anyone who purchases a toy teddy bear for $5 will get a ticket and a ball to try to dunk Dekerf. If they succeed, they will have their name entered for a draw for a $150 gift card for the store. Besides the dunking booth, the store is having a barbecue with hot dogs, hot chocolate and apple cider.
