With help from Midland Curling Club members, the CLH Foundation is getting ready to ‘Hurry Hard’.
The organization’s Bonspiel Bonanza returns to the local club on Saturday, November 23 for a fun day of curling that will raise vital funds and build awareness of the essential work of CLH Developmental Support Services (CLH DSS).
The north Simcoe organization has served people with developmental disabilities for more than 60 years.
“Thanks to the incredible support of our generous community, Bonspiel Bonanza has raised more than $22,000 in the past two years,” CLF Foundation board vice president and bonspiel chair Dave Sibley said.
“Our goal this year is to raise an additional $10,000 for ‘Commitment to Care’ and we have no doubt we can reach that mark.”
The event is open to all, from curling neophytes to savvy veterans of the roaring game, with everyone welcome to come out to enjoy a fun-filled day while supporting a worthy cause.
CLH Foundation’s Commitment to Care initiative fully underwrites the costs of essential and critically needed (but unfunded) medical and personal expenses for adults who live in CLH Supported Living Homes.
CLH DSS is unique in its long-time practice of covering these costs on behalf of supported individuals, and in the face of ever-rising prices and changes in funding, CLH Foundation has taken responsibility for ensuring this continues.
“Unequivocal access to what’s needed to remain in good health, both mentally and physically, is the best form of preventative care,” the organization noted in a release.
Bonspiel registration is $50 per person ($200 per team). It includes lunch, morning coffee, a silent auction, 50-50 draw and, of course, curling.
