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.

6th Annual Ogopogo Rotary Club "Fancy Pants" Golf Tournament Raises over $50,000

Almost 130 golfers teed off on September 5 at the 6th Annual Ogopogo Rotary Fancy Pants Tournament and helped to raise over $50,000 for Rotary’s local and international projects, including $30,000 for the Child & Youth Advocacy Centre.

“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.
