We did it !

Thanks to the generous matching support of the 2050 Investment Advisory Group at RJL, Ogopogo Rotary raised $10,516 for the Salvation Army Kettle Campaign last Saturday. The best way to start the holiday season is by giving! Kudos to all of our volunteers and everyone who donated.

“Where else can you enjoy a round of golf, raise funds for worthy causes, and wear your fanciest pants?” says Ray Lewis, Ogopogo Rotary’s Director of Fundraising. “We’d like to share our appreciation for our sponsors - we couldn’t do it without them”. Gold sponsors included Acera Insurance and Traine/Mainline Living.

Book your calendar for our 7th Tournament on Friday, September 4, 2025.
