TWO SIGNATURE EVENTS ONE GREAT CAUSE
Support our Military Veterans who have put their lives on the line for Canada. These events are designed to elevate the level of awareness of the contribution our Military Veterans have given to Canada, and have a little fun, while raising funds for Military Family Resource Centres (MFRC’s). MFRC’s are in dire need for funding for their extensive programs, which support our Military Veterans and their families in need of assistance. Everyone can participate at some level.

When: Wednesday, 27 June, 7 pm.

The evening will feature a full course dinner, silent and live auctions and presentations by military bands and dancing. At the same time we raise funds for our broken soldiers and their families by supporting Military Family Resource Centres (MFRC's)

On Sunday, July 1st you can contribute to or your party can host a veteran fishing on Lake Ontario.

In 2011, our inaugural year, we hosted 35 Military Veterans at the Gala Dinner, more than 30 Veterans in the Canada Day Veterans Fishing Derby and raised over $40,000 in support of MFRC’s. For 2012 our goal is to double our fundraising efforts and host many more Military Veterans to the Gala and Fishing Derby. With your support we will continue to show our Military Veterans and their families in need that we care.
