Well it’s that time of year and we are starting to organize the Family Ball Tournament again.
Last year was another great tournament, with $5500 being donated to charity!
We are pleased to announce that this year’s charity will be the Make A Wish Foundation of Eastern Ontario.
About our Charity:
*from their website:
Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario got started with a little girl’s wish for a trip to Walt Disney World® Resort in 1997. Maureen MacArthur organized a group of volunteers to form a board and the new chapter was officially incorporated and granted charitable status on 1 January 1999.
The Eastern Ontario chapter includes a staff of three and covers a territory that includes Belleville, Kingston, Brockville, Cornwall, Hawkesbury, Ottawa and everything in between. Our area includes the counties of Addington; Carleton; Dundas; Frontenac; Glengarry; Grenville; Hastings; Lanark; Leeds; Lennox; Prescott; Renfrew; Russell; Stormont.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation is celebrating 25 years of creating hope and happiness for children with life-threatening illnesses across Canada. They work with families of children ages three to seventeen, to help fulfill their special wishes at a most difficult time in their lives.
If you know a family who has wants to be a Wish family, or has been one, please let us know! Our funds will go directly to help that family!
